Abstract
A connector for a flat terminal includes a lever, a housing and contact. The lever has pivots. The housing is formed with a terminal recess and provided with bearings. The contact has a contact point and is located in the terminal recess. The housing includes guide ribs for separating the base end of the lever from the contact point in the process of attaching the lever to the housing. The contact point is located between the guide ribs. The guide ribs are formed on the bottom of the terminal recess in the housing, and stick out more than the contact point from the bottom of the terminal recess.
