ABSTRACT:
A multiple contact connector has an elongate actuating member which is reciprocally mounted in a housing holding the contacts, the contacts in one or more linear arrays. On longitudinal reciprocation of the actuating membert it is also caused to reciprocate up and down in a direction normal to the longitudinal direction. In so doing it pushes on the contacts, deflecting them sideways. The connector is then assembled or inserted, after which the actuating member is moved to release the contacts. A substantially zero insertion force is obtained.
