ABSTRACT:
An electrical zero insertion force connector includes a tubular elongated conducting body having an opening at its one end for inserting a conductor and a socket with a plurality of integral gripping jaws resiliently extending into the body and away from the opening. An insulating slider is arranged within the body for reciprocating movement between an engaging position, for deflecting the jaws into intimate electrical contacts with the conductor, and a disengaging position, for releasing the jaws from the conductor. The slider protrudes from an end of the body opposite the opening.
