A connector for a flat flexible cable (FFC) has a terminal holder adapted to be mounted to a substrate, and a plurality of terminals arranged within the terminal holder. Each terminal defines a plurality of sharpened tines arranged in a row. A cable holder is slidably arranged on the terminal holder and movable between an insertion position wherein an FFC is free to be inserted into the cable holder, and an installed position wherein the tines of each terminal engage with or penetrate conductors of the FFC arranged within the cable holder for establishing electrical contact therewith.
