ABSTRACT:
A method and connector are disclosed for making a zero insertion force connection between mating members while providing a contact wiping action. The connector has a housing, a plurality of terminals mounted in the housing, a cam mounted for longitudinal movement in the housing and a cam follower mounted between the cam and each row of terminals. Movement of the cam from a first to a second position causes the terminals to open to receive the mating member, return movement to the first position allows the terminals to engage the mating member, movement to a third position causes a first wiping action by the terminals and return to the first position causes a reverse wiping action.
