Abstract
A flexible printed circuit (FPC) connector includes an insulating housing (,) receiving contact elements (,) therein, and a slider (,) insertably mounted to the housing. A pair of solder pads (,) are mounted on opposite sides of the housing. The slider forms a pair of latching arms (,) and a pair of latching flukes (,) projecting inwardly from front ends of the latching arms. Each solder pad defines a gap (,) between a first and a second mounting walls (,). A projection (,) is formed on an outer surface of each first mounting wall. When the slider is in a first position, each latching fluke extends into the gap and locks with an edge of the second mounting wall of a corresponding solder pad. When the slider is in a second position, each fluke locks with the projection of the first mounting wall of the corresponding solder pad.
