Abstract
An electrical connector for flat arranged terminals provided on a flexible sheet is more compact in size and reduces the number of parts via one-piece formation. A body portion and a cover portion of the connector are configured by insert molding to contain a frame having parallel conductive contact lines as an insert. The body is configured to be spaced from the cover, but connected by a pair of hinge portions. The contact lines extending from two sides of the body are cut off from the prior stage frame, and the lines extending from one side are each bent on the body to form a leaf spring. The lines extending from another side of the body are curtailed. Then, the cover is bent over the body to fit each other. In the fitting, the cover is withheld first at a position that provides a clearance to receive the flexible sheet having terminals to be connected. After inserted of the flexible sheet in place, the cover is pressed on the body to hold the flexible sheet firmly, and thereby accomplish internal line contacts.
