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.
