ABSTRACT:
A socket suitable for electrically connecting circuit panels such as single inline memory modules (SIMM) employs a plurality of contacts positioned within cavities in an insulative housing. This socket permits zero force or low force insertion of circuit panels into the socket and is of the type in which the circuit panel is rotated from a first position to a second position where deflection is imparted to the two contact springs. The contact terminals used with this socket are insertable into an insulative housing through the rear of the housing. A cantilever spring extending from the rear of the contact terminal is located on one side of a panel receiving slot and a curved spring is located on the other side of the panel receiving slot. Cantilever arms having terminal securing teeth at their ends engage the insulative housing and one cantilever arm extends between the cantilever spring and the curved spring and engages a central rib located within each cavity and comprising the lower surface of the panel receiving slot.
