Abstract
An electrical connector is provided for terminating a flat electrical circuit. The connector includes a dielectric housing having an opening at a front portion thereof for receiving an end of the flat circuit, along with a rear terminating portion. A plurality of terminals are mounted on the housing in a side-by-side array spaced along the opening. An actuator is movably mounted relative to the housing for movement between an open position allowing the end of the flat circuit to be inserted into the opening and a closed position to relatively bias the flat circuit against the terminals. The actuator has a dust cover portion for covering the rear terminating portion of the housing when the actuator is in its closed position.
