Abstract
A connector having a substantially box-like housing having an insertion opening into which an FPC is inserted, a two-forked contact placed inside the housing, and a lever provided so as to face the insertion opening of the housing and pivotably held by the housing. The two-forked contact has a base section held by the housing, an upper arm and a lower arm that extend from the base section toward the insertion opening, and two-forked engagement arms extending from the base section in the opposite direction to the insertion opening. The lever has a grip section, a rotating shaft provided on the grip section and held by the housing, and a first plate cam provided on the rotating shaft and engaging the engaging arm. When the grip section is opened, the first plate cam widens the interval between the two-forked engagement arms, widening the interval between the upper arm and the lower arm of the two-forked contact.
