Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a connector that can positively connect a conductor to a jack, without depending on strict component tolerance by holding a flat cable fixedly in the passage of a housing, and bending the conductor exposed from the tip to fuse it to slots. SOLUTION: A flat cable with a conductor which is exposed from its terminal end is inserted in a passage 70 of a connector 40 from the opening of a first end part 72, and its insulator part is accommodated in the passage 70, while the conductor is led out of the opening of a second end part 74. A strain relief tab 110 provided at a housing top face 76 is turned horizontally via a hinge part 120, and the insulator part is pressed downward by its top part 123 for fixing and holding the cable onto a bottom face 78. The conductor is bent, curved upward along a support wall 98 of the second end part 74 and further is bent horizontally at a protrusive distal part 100, while being divided by an external divider wall 94 so as to be led to a recessed inner part 102. A conductor terminal part is fused to a plurality of slots engaged with a jack.
