A connector has a base having
insertion holes in parallel at a predetermined
pitch, A connector has a base having
insertion holes in parallel at a predetermined
pitch, H-shape connecting terminals laterally inserted into the
insertion holes, each connecting terminal having a support contact piece on a lower side of the connecting terminal, a manipulation contact piece on an upper side of the connecting terminal, and a
coupling portion which couples the support contact piece and the manipulation piece, and a manipulation lever rotatably attached to a bearing portion of the support contact piece disposed on a first side of the base. A latching pawl, formed on a first end of the support contact piece, is latched on an edge portion of the base. A flexible board is inserted from an opening on a second side of the base. The manipulation lever manipulates the manipulation contact piece to bring an end portion of the manipulation contact piece into pressure-contact with the flexible board.
