ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates generally to a connector of the type for electrically connecting and mechanically retaining an integrated circuit package or other multi-pin devices to a printed circuit board. More particularly the connector contains a number of contact bearing, double arm spring members along either side. To insert a package the inside arms are pulled away from biasing contact with the outer arms by transversely moving two actuating members with a single centrally disposed longitudinally moving draw bar via cooperating ramp and slot configurations.
