1. An FFC connector, comprising:
- a FFC defining upper and lower surfaces opposite to each other, a plurality of gold fingers formed with the upper surface and exposed outside to contact with a complementary connector, and a reinforcement plate held on the lower surface and supporting the gold fingers during mating with the complementary connector; and
an insulator abutting against the upper surface of the FFC and having a receiving room for receiving the FFC.

Abstract
An FFC connector according to the present invention includes a FFC (1) and an insulator (3). The FFC defines upper and lower surfaces (10) and (11) opposite to each other, a number of gold fingers (101) formed with the upper surface and exposed outside to contact with a complementary connector, and a reinforcement plate (4) held on the lower surface and supporting the gold fingers during mating with the complementary connector. The insulator abuts against the upper surface of the FFC and has a receiving room (310) for receiving the FFC.

11. A cable assembly, comprising:
-
an insulative housing defining a base portion with side arrangement disposed on opposite sides of the base portion, the base portion having a flat configuration with top and bottom surface and comparably thinner than the side arrangement; a flexible cable disposed to a bottom surface of the base portion and between the side arrangements, and with a mating portion arranged outside of he base portion; and a metallic plate attached to the insulative housing, and having a reinforced portion substantially supporting the flexible cable toward the insulative housing. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13)

14. A cable assembly comprising:
-
an insulative housing defining a planar base; a pair of latches pivotally mounted on two lateral sides of the housing; a flat flexible cable defining opposite first and second surfaces with the first surface abutting against the base, and having exposed conductors on a front edge region of the first surface; a reinforcement plate supportably mounted under a front portion of the second surface of the flat flexible cable and cooperating with the base to tightly sandwiching the flat flexible cable therebetween; and a metallic shell enclosing said housing and said reinforcement plate under a condition that the conductors are exposed outside of the shell. - View Dependent Claims (15)
