Abstract

An electrical connector structure is provided. The electrical connector structure is applicable in an electronic device having a printed circuit board (PCB), and is electrically connected with the PCB via a flexible flat cable (FFC). The electrical connector structure includes a plurality of electrical terminals disposed on the PCB, and a sleeve lid disposed at the position corresponding to the electrical terminals. The sleeve lid is formed with an opening. The FFC extends into the opening to contact the electrical terminals. A blade spring disposed on the surface of the sleeve lid is used to press the FFC, making its contact with the electrical terminals compact.
