Abstract: A connector includes a required number of contacts, an electrical insulation housing and a metallic shell. A tab is formed in the connector. A pressure receiving portion of the tab is pushed by a pushing portion of the shell to move the pressure receiving portion toward a mounting face of a substrate for applying a force in the insertion of FPC but not applying a force to the tab in the detaching thereof, whereby an engaging portion of the tab is moved in a direction opposing to the mounting face of the substrate to unfasten the engaging portion from an locking portion of the FPC.

Abstract: The invention provides a connector enabling a dead space of a substrate to be reduced while maintaining connection strength. For this purpose, H-shaped contacts comprise holding means permitting pushing portions of a pivoting member to be pivoted between pressure receiving portions and connection portions of the contacts. When an actuating portion of the pivoting member is moved toward a fitting opening of a housing, the pushing portions are pivotally moved and their axes of rotation are moved to achieve their compact rotation, thereby bringing contact portions of the contacts into contact with a connecting object. The substrate is formed with a notch into which the connector is fitted to be connected to the substrate.
