ABSTRACT:
Zero insertion force connector has a housing containing contact terminals which are moved into, and out of, engagement with terminal pads on circuit board by cams. The terminals have end portions which partially surround the cams and which are remote from the locations at which the terminals are gripped in the housing. The cams can be actuated with reduced forces by virtue of the long lever arms of the terminals.
