Connector for connecting a flat cable and for securely retaining the same
First Claim
1. A connector including conductive contacts, a first insulator retaining said contacts, and a cable-side insulator, attachable/detachable relative to said first insulator, for retaining a flat cable, wherein when said cable-side insulator is mounted to said first insulator, said flat cable is connected to said contacts, said connector characterized in that said cable-side insulator comprises a second insulator for receiving said flat cable, a third insulator disposed so as to confront said second insulator via said flat cable, and a clamp interposed between said flat cable and said third insulator and, when said cable-side insulator is mounted to said first insulator, said second and third insulators are engaged with said first insulator to approach each other so that said flat cable is sandwiched between said clamp and said second insulator, and said third insulator comprising a rib that pushes said clamp toward said flat cable.

Abstract
Having conductive contacts (4), a first insulator (1) retaining the contacts, and a cable-side insulator, attachable/detachable relative to the first insulator, for retaining a flat cable (6). The cable-side insulator includes a second insulator (2) for receiving the flat cable, a third insulator (3) disposed so as to confront the second insulator via the flat cable, and a clamp (7) interposed between the flat cable and the third insulator. When the cable-side insulator is mounted to the first insulator, the second and third insulators are engaged with the first insulator to approach each other so that the flat cable is sandwiched between the clamp and the second insulator. In this state, the flat cable is connected to the contacts.
