ABSTRACT:
An edge connector for a printed circuit board including two actuator plates comprising cam followers and two contact holders comprising opposing cam surfaces. Movement of the actuator plates along the longitudinal axis of the connector forces the opposing contact holders apart when the cam followers engage the high point of an adjacent cam surface and allows the opposing contact holders to move towards each other when the cam followers engage the low point of an adjacent cam surface.
