Abstract
An electrical connector comprising: a terminal including a contact piece; a housing; a slider including a pressing portion; a flexible cable including an end conductor; and a reinforcing plate having a pressed face to be pressed by a pressing face of the pressing portion of the slider; wherein after the slider has been temporarily engaged with the housing in which the terminal is accommodated, the end conductor of the flexible cable is inserted together with the reinforcing plate into the housing and then, the slider is displaced to a full engaging position such that the end conductor of the flexible cable is brought into pressing contact with the contact piece of the terminal through the reinforcing plate by the pressing portion of the slider; wherein the pressed face of the reinforcing plate is formed obliquely such that the reinforcing plate becomes thinner from a front edge of the reinforcing plate towards a rear edge of the reinforcing plate, while the pressing face of the pressing portion of the slider is formed obliquely such that the slider becomes thicker from a front edge of the slider towards a rear edge of the slider.
