Abstract

The utility model discloses an electric connector, which utilizes a flexible circuit board to connect a camera module with a circuit board and comprises a metal shell with holding space and flexible terminals. Wherein, the metal shell is provided with a bottom wall. The flexible terminals contact the bottom wall. In addition, the flexible terminal, flexible circuit board and camera module are arranged into the holding space of the metal shell in sequence. A convex block is arranged at the center of the bottom wall surface of the metal shell. Besides, the flexible terminal is provided with holes to contain the convex block. Thus, while putting the camera module into the holding space, the flexible terminal moves downwards along the flexible circuit board but only moves to the position connecting with the convex block. Here, the flexible terminal stops moving downwards, thus preventing over-pressure of the flexible terminal, providing adequate upward elasticity for the flexible circuit board and fulfilling firm connection between the camera module and flexible circuit board.
