19. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 7, wherein each of the terminals further defines a bearing beam opposite to the contact beam, and the pressing member defines a plurality of shaft sects each engaged with the corresponding bearing beam, wherein said shaft sect extends in an axial direction of the pivot axis and connected to remainder portions of the pressing member only along said axial direction.
20. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 7, wherein the pressing member is essentially in a planar manner.
21. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 8, wherein the finger operation section is dimensioned, along said axial direction, to be much less than a width of said FPC.
22. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 19, wherein the pivot axis of the pressing member is not constantly located at a same position with regard to the housing during rotation of the pressing member.
23. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein each of the terminals further defines a bearing beam, where the short tip region is located, opposite to the contact beam, and the pressing member defines a plurality of shaft sects each engaged with the corresponding bearing beam, wherein said shaft sect extends in the longitudinal direction of the pressing member, and connected to remainder portions of the pressing member only along said axial direction.
24. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 23, wherein the short tip region of the bearing beam does not directly confront the pressing member in the front-to-back direction.
25. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein the pressing member is essentially in a planar manner.
26. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 9, wherein the pressing member further includes a finger operation section which is dimensioned to be much less than a width of said FPC along the longitudinal direction.
27. The electrical connector assembly as claimed in claim 23, wherein the pivot axis of the pressing member is not constantly located at a same position with regard to the housing during rotation of the pressing member.
