Abstract
A flat and pliable circuit board connector includes an insulated body having a top open space and a plurality of terminals disposed therein, two anchor members mounted on both sides of the housing and an upper lid pivotally connected to the anchor members and upwardly turnable to expose the open space and enable easy insertion of a pliable circuit board into the open space. After the movable upper lid is closed, the pliable circuit board is securely latched in the connector and the upper lid becomes an upper wall of the connector. The movable upper lid is covered by a metal shield plate to prevent electromagnetic interference (EMI) to enhance the performance of the flat and pliable circuit board connector. The upper lid is lifted and opened rearwardly and closed forwardly.
