ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided for electrically interconnecting the conductive terminals of a flat electrical circuit-bearing structure such as a circuit board with a backplane or the like. The connector includes a housing having a slot, into which the flat electrical circuit-bearing structure is inserted, and a carrier mounted for reciprocal movement in the slot to move the flat structure as it is inserted. A contact strip mounted on the carrier moves with the carrier and also is movable transversely thereof by a cam action to engage the flat structure's conductive terminal as the flat electrical structure is inserted. A resilient portion of the contact strip extends from the carrier to another portion fixed in the housing and urges the carrier outwardly of the slot and into abutment with the inserted electrical element.
