A cable connector is provided including an insulative housing having an insertion opening through which a flat flexible cable may be inserted. An actuator is movably mounted on the housing and configured to be moved from a first position at which the flat flexible cable may be inserted and a second position at which the contact pads of the flat flexible cable are operatively engaged by terminals of the connector. A plurality of conductive terminals are mounted in the housing. Each terminal is configured to be electrically connected to a contact pad of the flat flexible cable. Each terminal includes a base portion disposed at a rear end of the terminal and extending in the vertical direction, an actuator holding arm portion, a front resilient contact arm portion, and a rear resilient contact arm portion. The contact arm portions engage the contact pads in a mutually independent way. The actuator holding arm portion and each contact arm portion have a proximal end thereof secured to the base portion and a contact portion at a free end of thereof.
