ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector provides mechanical advantage in obtaining high contact force with low insertion force. A pin is utilized as a cantilever beam to provide high contact force. A carrier, which is activated by insertion of a printed circuit board or the like, includes a lever forming part of the electrical connection. A spring element acts on the carrier to insure the levers are not in the path of the printed circuit board until after the printed circuit board makes contact with the carrier. The lever is displaced by the insertion of the printed circuit board causing a deflection of the pin. The lever has contact points capable of causing a piercing action, thereby forming good electrical contacts.
