ABSTRACT:
An electric connector comprises a housing (10) having a base (11) and two side walls (12, 13) together defining a longitudinal slot (14) into which a plug member may be inserted. A plurality of projecting walls (15) define a number of transverse openings (16) extending from the longitudinal slot (14), and each of these openings contains an electrically-conducting contact member (17). Each contact member has a terminal portion (18) extending out of the base (11) of the housing (10), a contact portion (19) which may extend into the longitudinal slot (14) and an actuating portion (20).
The contact members (17) may be retracted out of the longitudinal slot (14) by an actuating tool comprising a pair of arms (25) which engage with the side walls (12, 13) and, when moved in a direction parallel to the longitudinal slot (14) engage with the actuating portions (20) of all the contact members (17). The front edges of each arm (25) is provided with a ramp (26) to provide gradual engagement.
