- a pressure member attached to said housing for rotation between a closed postion where said pressure member is close to said contact elements and an open position where said pressure member is apart from said closed position;
- said contact elements being made of a substantially flat conductive sheet so as to provide fulcrum sections having arcuate tips with their axes extending in a direction of thickness of said conductive sheet;
- said pressure member having a pressure edge for depressing a flexible board against said contact elements and bearing means engaging said fulcrum sections when said pressure member is turned downwardly to said closed position;
- said fulcrum sections projecting in said direction of thickness; and
- said pressure member having compartments at one end thereof, each of said compartments having a lateral wall with a slit for accomodating a corresponding fulcrum section through said slit to thereby provide a low profile electrical connector.
- 2. A flexible board electrical connector according to claim 1, wherein said fulcrum sections have a U-shaped cross section and a circular tip.
