ABSTRACT:
An electrical multiconnector of a zero insertion force type comprises a plurality of elongated conducting connector elements extending from an insulating base in generally parallel relation and adapted to be engaged with conducting pins of a mating connector assembly to establish electrical paths therebetween. Each connector element includes a slider arranged thereon for longitudinal movement therealong to its engaging position and away from its engaging position. An actuator plate is provided for reciprocal movement in a direction parallel to the direction of elongation of the connector elements between a disengagement position, to allow the sliders to disengage the connector elements whereby the pins may be inserted or withdrawn without the necessity to exert any force, and an engagement position, to urge the sliders to conductively engage the connector elements with respective pins.
