Abstract
Disclosed is an electrical connector for a flexible flat cable comprising a connector housing having a plurality of terminals arranged therein and a connector cover removably mounted on the connector housing. The connector cover has a pressure blade which displaces each terminal thereby resiliently holding flat conductors on the cable between a contact portion of each terminal and the blade as well as electrically connecting the flat conductors and the contact portions of the terminal. The flexible flat cable is provided with a lock hole between the flat conductors thereon and a lock plate having a projection in a free end thereof mounted between the terminals. In addition, a support blade is mounted under the pressure blade of the connector cover. When the flexible flat cable is inserted and the connector cover is pushed into the connector housing, the lock hole of the cable becomes engaged with the projection of the lock plate.
