Abstract
A connector includes an insulated base having a plurality of conductive terminals inserted onto a top thereof, and an insulated cover being structured to firmly hold a flat cable to the base. The base is provided at the top with a row of spacers to form a plurality of parallelly spaced slots, into which the conductive terminals are separately seated to partially expose from the top of the base. The flat cable is stripped at a predetermined section to expose a length of naked cores that are separately located in the spaced slots above the conductive terminals and are welded to the latter to provide increased contact areas between the terminals and the flat cable to ensure stable signal transmission at high speed. The spacers prevent the occurrence of short circuit during welding of the terminals to the naked cores of the flat cable.
