Abstract
An electrical connector for connecting a flexible printed circuit board comprises an insulator, a plurality of terminals and an actuator mounting onto the insulator. The insulator comprises a top wall, a bottom wall opposite to the top wall and a pair of side wall joining with the top wall and the bottom wall thereby defining a cavity therebetween. The terminals arranged exposed into the cavity. The actuator can rotate between an opened position where the flexible printed circuit board can be inserted into the cavity and a closed position where the flexible printed circuit board can be abutted against the terminals. A post protrudes from the bottom wall. The actuator defines a locking beam for locking with the post and a through hole for receiving the post when the actuator is located at the closed position.
