Abstract

An electrical connector includes a mounting block and a plurality of unitary terminal pieces. The mounting block has a base portion and a projecting portion extending from the base and through an opening unit in an assembly of a flexible printed board and an insulating seat. Each terminal piece has a contact section extending into a receiving slot in the base portion and in electrical contact with a conductive contact of the printed board, and an anchoring section extending through the opening unit and a positioning groove in the projecting portion and having a free end extending toward the contact section. As such, the printed board, the insulating seat and the projecting portion are clamped between the contact section and the anchoring section of each terminal piece.
