Abstract
A housing includes a board-side housing which holds metal terminals and a cable-side housing holding a flat cable When the two housings and are connected together, conductors are connected to the metal terminals respectively. When the conductors are disconnected from the metal terminals the flat cable continues to be held by the cable-side housing and therefore the orderly arrangement of the conductors will not be disturbed, and also the conductors will not be deformed. Therefore, when the conductors are to be again connected to the metal terminals respectively, the conductors do not need to be corrected in shape and arranged properly. In the cable-side housing a holding member is pivotally supported on a positioning member and therefore the excellent operability is obtained when moving the holding member to a holding position.
