A FPC connector has an insulative housing with a general U-shape that defines an opening that receives a free end of a length of FPC. The housing has a base and two leg portions and the leg portions have engagement arms that hold engage the FPC free end when inserted into the connector housing opening. A cover of the connector housing has press members that press the FPC and dielectric barriers thereon into contact with contacts on a circuit board.
