Abstract
An electrical connector for connection with a flexible cable comprises an elongate insulative housing, a plurality of terminals retained in the housing and a stuffer. A pair of retention holes is formed at opposite ends of the stuffer corresponding to teeth at opposite ends of the housing. Each terminal includes a mating end and a mounting tail upwardly deformed. The stuffer is mounted to the housing with the teeth engaging in the holes. An end of the flexible cable is inserted into the connector for contacting the terminals. The stuffer is downwardly pushed to press against the flexible cable to engage with the mounting portions and secure the end of the flexible cable within the housing.
