ABSTRACT:
A cam actuated connector assembly is disclosed for effecting a low insertion force mating of the connector assembly with a plurality of fixed pin or post terminals. The housing includes a first housing member adopted to hold therein a plurality of spring contact terminals and a second housing member receiving the first housing member therein with cam means therebetween for effecting relative movement of the housing members. In the normal relaxed condition of the connector assembly, the contacts are in a closed configuration. Upon actuation of the connector assembly for mating, the housing members are moved relative to one another by the cam means causing the contact terminals to be moved to an open position to receive the mating pin or post terminals. The subsequent release of the second housing member effects a closing of the terminals to an engaged condition.
