ABSTRACT:
A low or zero insertion force connector for mounting integrated circuit (IC) packages or other multiple pin devices to electrical interconnection boards. A base member has a plurality of spring contacts along opposite long sides which are coupled to actuating members. A slide is connected by pin and slot camming means to the actuators so that longitudinal motion of the slide causes lateral motion of the actuators. Movement of the actuators in one direction draws the contacts inwardly to provide a clear path for the IC leads to be inserted adjacent the contacts. A cover is provided upon which the IC is seated and which has tapered openings to receive the IC leads in alignment with the contacts.
