Abstract
A flexible board connector includes a casing having an opening in its upper surface and placed inside a through-hole of a circuit board. Terminals of the circuit board are connected to outside contact portions of conductive contacts which portions protrude from proximity to an upper end of a side surface of the casing. A portion of the flexible board is inserted into an insertion hole through the opening, and then a press member is slid toward the opening. Thereby, inside contact portions of the contacts and the inserted portion of the flexible board are sandwiched to be fixed by the press member and a wedge-shaped push-up block located in the casing. The press member has a cover portion which allows a portion of the flexible board located outside the insertion hole to be bent in the direction generally parallel to an upper surface of the circuit board.
