ABSTRACT:
A low insertion force connector in which the operability of a slider is enhanced so that a force, required for connecting terminals of one connector respectively to terminals of the other connector, will not affect the operability of the slider. Specifically, the low insertion force connector includes a first connector having follower projections, a second connector having a slider insertion hole, and a slider having cam grooves for respectively guiding the follower projections. The slider has at least one inertia insertion abutment projection for the follower projection, and the cam groove is formed in continuous relation to the abutment projection, and when the follower projection passes the abutment projection, terminals in the first connector are initially fitted respectively into terminals in the second connector. The first connector includes a pair of terminal receiving blocks, and a pair of follower projections are provided in a slit groove, formed between the pair of terminal receiving blocks, in opposed relation to each other. The cam grooves are formed respectively in opposite sides of the slider, and the abutment projection is formed on each or one of the opposite sides of the slider.
