Abstract: An electrical connector for connection with a flexible printed circuit (FPC) comprises an insulating housing defining an inserting direction; a plurality of electrical contacts; a pair of channels comprising a first groove and a second groove communicating each other and an actuator having a pair of stoppers extending from opposite sides thereof for facilitating movement of the actuator between a first position and a second position; when the actuator is in the first position, the stoppers are received in the first grooves, whereby the FPC is free to be inserted into the housing, and when the actuator is in the second position, the stoppers are received in the second grooves, whereby the actuator biases the FPC against the electrical contacts.

Abstract: An electrical connector (1) comprises a housing (11), a plurality of electrical contacts (12) retained in the housing (11), a cover member (13) pivotally assembled to the housing (11) and an actuator (14) mounted in one side of the housing (11). The actuator (14) includes a base (141), a retaining arm (142) extending from an end of the base (141), a spring arm (145) extending from the other end of the base (141), and a cooperator (144) curving laterally from a distal end of the spring arm (145), thereby forming a first face (1441). The cover member (13) consists of a securing portions (133) defined at an end of one side thereof and has a plane (1331). In using, the first face (1441) engages with the plane (1331) so as to protect the cover member (13) from overturning.
