Abstract

A connector is disclosed having a flat cable connecting portion connected to a flat cable and a flat mating portion mated with another connector. The connector comprises a plurality of terminals arranged on the mating portion for establishing contact with terminals on the other connector, a conductive connecting portion exposed on the cable connecting portion and connected to conductive trace connecting portions on the flat cable, and a plurality of wiring lines extending from the mating portion to the cable connecting portion, each one electrically connecting a terminal to the corresponding conductive trace connecting portion. The conductive connecting portion has a protrusion formed on the wiring lines. The upper surface of the protrusion is substantially the same height as one outer surface of the cable connecting portion.
