Abstract
A connector includes a housing in which a stationary separator portion and an accommodation portion are provided. The accommodation portion receives an actuator above the separator portion and receives an end of an FPC/FFC below the separator portion. A force receiving portion and a contact portion of a contact, which together have a bifurcated shape, are disposed above and below the separator portion, respectively. When the force receiving portion is moved upward by a turning operation of the actuator above the separator portion, the contact portion is abutted with a signal layer of the FPC/FFC, and the position of a ground member which holds the FPC/FFC in conjunction with the contact portion and the position of the separator portion are not changed. Accordingly, the contact between the contact portion and the single layer is stabilized, thereby improving the reliability of the contact between the contact portion of the contact and the FPC/FFC.
