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.

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. Fixtures are provided at both longitudinal ands of the connector and both or either of the fixtures is provided with an extending piece integral therewith or separate therefrom, extending substantially perpendicularly to the substrate, thereby limiting a rotated angle of the pivoting member upon it being opened.
