They enable signal connection or transmission between internal functional modules of such devices or with external devices, as well as connection between the device and power or signal sources, ultimately realizing a power / signal connection solution for the device.

[0003] Existing FPC connectors mainly include a body, connecting terminals fixed side by side on the body, and a cover that works with the body to clamp and connect the FPC. Based on the position of the cover, they are divided into front-insertion front-flip structure and front-insertion rear-flip structure. In the front-insertion front-flip structure, the insertion interface and the cover are located on the same side, while in the front-insertion rear-flip structure, the insertion interface and the cover are opposite to each other.

[0004] However, existing FPC connector terminals are typically designed for single-sided contact with the FPC being connected. Therefore, the connection terminal and the FPC have a single-point contact, leading to unstable electrical performance. Utility Model Content

[0009] Preferably, an arc-shaped groove is provided at one end of the crossbeam relative to the first cantilever and the second cantilever, and the arc-shaped groove makes the end of the crossbeam have a hook-shaped structure; the rotating cover is engaged in the arc-shaped groove of multiple connecting terminals.

[0010] Preferably, the two contact points are horseshoe-shaped.

[0011] Preferably, the second spring arm is located above the first spring arm, and the length of the second spring arm is less than the length of the first spring arm.

[0012] Preferably, the first elastic arm is further provided with a welding end at the end away from the contact point.

[0013] Preferably, the rotating cover is provided with multiple protrusions, and the upper ends of the multiple protrusions are connected by connecting strips. A through hole is provided between adjacent protrusions, and the hook-shaped structure of the crossbeam is engaged in the through hole between the protrusions.

[0014] Preferably, the upper end of the protrusion has a beveled structure, and the length of the end located at the contact point of the connecting terminal is greater than the length of the end located away from the contact point of the connecting terminal.

[0015] Preferably, the rotating cover is provided with stops on both sides, and the stops are provided with wedge-shaped portions that cooperate with the connector body.

[0016] Preferably, the rotating cover is provided with L-shaped grooves on both sides.
