Abstract

The present invention provides an electrical connector assembly in which a slider member can be securely supported with respect to a housing, so that variation in the position of a flexible printed circuit when the slider member and the flexible printed circuit are inserted into a mating connector can be minimized. The electrical connector assembly (1) is equipped with a housing (18, 19) which has plural rows of electrical terminals (15) that protrude from a wall of the housing, a flexible printed circuit (20), both ends of which are connected to the terminals (15) of the housing, and which has a plurality of conducive paths formed on a surface thereof, a slider member (30), which is inserted between the ends of the flexible printed circuit (20), and which is inserted between rows of contacts (83a, 83b) of a mating connector (80) together with the flexible printed circuit (20) so that the conductive paths are caused to electrically engage the rows of contacts, and supporting members (40), which are attached to the housing, and which regulate the movement of the slider member (30) in directions other than the direction (A) of insertion into the mating connector.
