Patent number: 7833035Abstract: An electrical connector for connecting an FPC includes an insulating housing having a receiving space, a plurality of contacts received in the insulating housing and an actuator retained on two ends of said insulating housing. Each contact includes a pivot arm engaging with said actuator and frontwardly extending into said receiving space. Said pivot arm defines a first engaging notch and a protrusion on a bottom edge thereof. The actuator has a rotatable cam portion rotatablely engaged with said first engaging notch. Said protrusion is formed on a frontal tip end of said pivot arm and extends much lower than said rotatable cam portion in a vertical direction, which prevents the FPC from contacting with said rotatable portion firstly during the process of the insertion.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2008Date of Patent: November 16, 2010Assignee: Hon Hai Precision Ind. Co., Ltd.Inventors: Min-Han Lin, Kuo-Chun Hsu
