ABSTRACT:
A connector for low or zero insertion force receipt of multi-pin arrays, such as those in very large scale integration (VLSI) components, includes cooperating camming surfaces having inclined ramps and slots. Selective longitudinal movement of a cam actuator causes vertical movement of a cam plate whereby self-biasing of connector contacts is opposed for ready pin insertion. Engagement between the cam plate and contacts ceases upon reverse movement of the cam actuator to permit the contacts to effect tight engagement with the pins under the influence of their such self-biasing forces.
