Abstract
A connector includes a base mounted with connecting terminals at a predetermined pitch and an operating lever turnably supported on the base. The operating lever presses and connects a tip end portion of a flexible printed circuit board against and to fixed contacts of the connecting terminals. Mounting protrusions provided to opposite end portions of the operating lever are moved along first slide faces, tapered faces, and second slide faces. The faces are formed in an uninterrupted manner on upper end faces of partition walls provided to opposite side end portions of the base. Turning shaft portions coaxially provided in an interrupted manner to remaining one side edge portion of the operating lever push up elastic finger portions of the connecting terminals. The turning shaft portions are turnably fitted in bearing recessed portions formed at the elastic finger portions.
