As described above, various connectors have been proposed for a connector connected to at least one end of the FFC, that is, an FFC connector. Such a conventional FFC connector is
The FFC is inserted integrally with the insulating plug into the FFC insertion opening of the insulating housing in which the contacts having the substantially fork-shaped or arm-shaped contact portions corresponding to the number of the conductors are inserted and held, and the contact of the contact with the conductor end is made. Some parts are held in pressure contact with each other. Such an FFC connector is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-22869, Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 3-3967,
It is disclosed in publications such as 3482. In addition, 3-2698
No. 8 discloses an FFC connector having a contact actuating member that expands a contact when the FFC is inserted to reduce the insertion force of the FFC. In addition,
Japanese Patent No. 35428 discloses an FFC connector in which the contact portions of the contacts are displaced in a staggered manner with respect to the FFC insertion direction to reduce the insertion force.

FIGS. 3A and 3B are perspective views showing the end of the FFC 50 and the elastic locking member 40 used in the FFC connector 10 of the present invention. The FFC 50 in FIG. 3A is substantially the same as the conventional FFC, and a plurality of parallel conductor layers 52 are formed on a flexible insulating substrate 51. The conventional FF of this FFC50
The difference from C is that a vertical slit 53 is provided at a predetermined position. The slit 53 has a narrow slit 53a extending from the end of the FFC 50, and a wide slit 53 following the slit 53a.
b and the transition taper portion 54. The width of the narrow slit 53a is substantially the same as the thickness of the elastic locking member 40. The slit 53 of the FFC 50 may be formed at the expense of one of the conductor layers 52, or a special-purpose FFC with a large space between the conductor layers 52 may be used.
May be used.

FIG. 3B is a perspective view of the elastic locking member 40. Since the locking portion 43 is wide, the inserted FFC
Intersect with 50. That is, when FFC50 is inserted, the slit
53 is inserted along the left side of the locking portion 43. Since the locking piece 44 is bent to form an elastic cantilever as shown,
When FFC50 is inserted, the narrow part of slit 53 of FFC50
Although it is pressed by 53a and deformed into a substantially flat shape, the wide portion 53
When it reaches b, it expands due to its elasticity. Therefore, when the removal force acts on the FFC 50 that has been inserted once, the tip of the locking piece 44 engages with the tapered portion 54, and the holding force increases.
The engagement state of the elastic locking member 40 and the FFC 50 is schematically shown in FIG. The state in which the tip end 44a of the locking piece 44 is engaged with the transition portion 54 of the slit 53 of the FFC 50 is shown. As can be understood from FIG. 4, the holding force is determined by the inclination of the transition portion 54, the elasticity of the locking piece 44, and the like. When a sufficient external force is applied to FFC50, FFC
It can be seen that 50 can be removed from connector 10. Further, it is needless to say that the elastic locking members 40 may be inserted and held in the plurality of contact receiving openings 23 as needed, and the slits 53 may be formed at a plurality of locations of the FFC 50 corresponding to the elastic locking members 40.
