ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector for printed circuit boards having two or more rows of printed terminals along one edge of the board. When the board is inserted in the connector body, the contacts within the connector are prevented from making contact with any printed terminals on the circuit board until the board has reached its operative position within the connector and all the contacts are aligned with the printed terminals they are intended to make contact with. The contacts within the connector are carried by resiliently deformable supports. When the board is inserted in the connector it preferably imparts translational movement to a carriage on which actuators are mounted, and the actuators press the deformable supports and their contacts against their associated printed terminals on the printed circuit board. In this way, the board passes through four positions--safe, ready, initial contacting, and final operative positions--after it is inserted in the connector.
