Connector for flat cables.
Abstract
An electrical connector has multiple pairs of penetrating first apertures (23) and second apertures (24) which are longitudinally formed from bottom (21) to top (22) of an insulated connector housing (20), and a cable insertion aperture (25) connecting with first aperture (23) and formed in the top ( 22). Each contact (40) has a beam-shaped contact unit (44) and a holder (46) projecting upward from base (41), and a solder tine (48) extending downward from the base (41). A contact point (45) elastically projects into cable insertion aperture (25). A probe for continuity checking can access contact (40) and holder (46) from second aperture (24).
