ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a camming means for a zero insertion force connector or the like. The camming means has cam profiles which extend through an extension of the housing of the connector. The cam profiles are configured to distribute the forces to the extension of the housing, thereby eliminating the forces applied the cam slides which are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cam slides. The positioning of the cam profiles relative to each other ensures that the camming means can be used in connectors in which space is at a premium.
