ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector includes a plurality of spaced electrical contacts serially arranged in the electrical connector body and adapted to receive mating electrical contacts mounted in a mating electrical connector member. Insulator members are mounted in the electrical connector and are movably disposed between the spaced electrical contacts. A pressure applying device acts on the serial arrangement of electrical contacts and movable insulator members to secure mating electrical contacts together in a fixed electrical connection and to provide a low insertion and removal force when pressure is released therefrom. In one embodiment, a biased wedge member is mounted in the electrical connector and normally applies pressure to the serial arrangement of movable insulator members and mating electrical contacts. Alternately, an expansible, fluid filled chamber is mounted on the electrical connector and includes an expansible diaphragm which expands when the internal volume of the chamber is increased to apply pressure to the stacked arrangement of movable insulator members and mating electrical contacts. 2
