ABSTRACT:
A low insertion force connector for making electrical contact between a circuit board and an external circuit is provided. The connector includes a housing having longitudinal side walls forming a zone for receiving the circuit board. A plurality of contacts mounted within the zone have upper portions for contacting opposite sides of the circuit board. Lower portions of the contacts are mounted in the housing. A camming means is journaled for rotation about an axis substantially normal to the side walls and includes camming surfaces engageable therewith so as to move the side walls apart when the camming means is actuated. The contacts are operably associated with the respective sides of the housing so as to apply a negligible insertion force on a circuit board when the camming means is actuated.
