An electrical connector for a flexible printed circuit comprises a connector body having two rows of open channels and a terminal disposed in each channel. Each channel has a longitudinal rib which projects from a partition wall on one side of the channel and is spaced from the partition wall on the other side of the channel and which cooperates with a base wall of the connector body to define a slot. The terminals have a side wall disposed between the longitudinal rib and the partition wall on the other side of the channel and a lateral flange which is attached to a longitudinal edge of the side wall and which is disposed in the slot to retain the terminal in the transverse direction. The terminals further comprise a contact bow which is attached to a forward edge of the lateral flange and has a nose portion seated against the longitudinal rib to retain the terminal in one longitudinal direction. The median portion of the contact bow projects outwardly of the channel for making an electrical connection with a flexible printed circuit.

A terminal for making an electrical connection to a flexible printed circuit or the like, comprising, a side wall having a lateral flange attached at a longitudinal edge, a contact bow which is attached to a forward edge of the lateral flange and extends back thereover, said contact bow having a nose portion and a median portion projecting outwardly of the side wall for making an electrical connection and a tail, a tab which is connected to a front edge of the side wall and which extends in front of the nose to protect the nose and reinforce the nose when a force is applied to an inside surface of the nose in a direction toward the tab, and a cable attachment portion which is attached to a rear edge of the side wall and which is offset away from the lateral flange attached to one longitudinal edge of the side wall and toward the opposite longitudinal edge of the side wall to permit access to the inside surface of the nose between the cable attachment portion and the lateral flange in the longitudinal direction.
