Abstract
An electrical connector () adapted for connecting a flexible board comprises an insulated housing () defining a number of retaining channels, a number of first and second contacts () and a pressing member (). Each first contact has a pivot portion extending in a longitudinal direction and functioning as pivot point for actuation of the pressing member. The pressing member has a number of passageways for receiving corresponding pivot portions. After the pivot portions are fully received in corresponding passageways, the second contacts are assembled in the retaining channels. The first contacts cooperate with the second contact to secure the pressing member in the longitudinal direction.
