Abstract
The present invention discloses a flexible flat cable connector comprising an insulating body, a plurality of conductive terminals and a cover. The conductive terminals are inserted into the terminal grooves of the insulating body, and the cover is assembled on the top of the containing space of the insulating body. The first switch terminal and the second switch terminal are disposed in the insulating body, and the first switch terminal is located above the second switch terminal. When a flexible flat cable which has a lobe located at the one side is inserted into the containing space, the lobe of the flexible flat cable can contact against on the first switch terminal which then presses downwardly to the second switch terminal so as to detect whether or not the flexible flat cable is correctly positioned, and cause the flexible flat cable to conduct with the conductive terminal.
