Abstract: An electrical connector for FPC comprises a dielectric housing, a plurality of contacts received in the housing, and an actuation portion movably mounted on the housing. The housing defines a longitudinal receiving portion, and the receiving portion has a plurality of protrusions. The contact is formed with a first arm, a second arm and a foot, and an end of the first arm defines a head. The protrusions are formed adjacent to the head, and the profile of the head has a common axis with the profiles of its adjacent protrusions. The head together with the protrusions serves as a common shaft for the actuation portion.

Abstract: An electrical connector assembly (1) includes a first connector (2) and a second connector (3). The first connector includes a first housing (21) and first electrical contacts (22). The second connector includes a second housing (31) and second electrical contacts (32). The first contacts include signal contacts (22A), ground contacts (22B), and shield-joint contacts (22C). The signal contacts are arranged in pairs, with each pair transmitting one set of differential signals. The signal contacts within each pair are separated by an empty passage (214). Adjacent pairs of signal contacts are separated by one ground contact or by one shield-joint contact. The second contacts are configured to correspond to the first contacts, so that the first and second contacts can electrically mate with each other to electrically interconnect the first and second connectors. The wide interval between adjacent signal contacts enables cross talk between adjacent signal contacts to be reduced.
