ABSTRACT:
A zero insertion force connector system with a top entry for improved interconnection with a component card and a component card positioner for providing an interconnectable structure that is useable with adjacent apparatus. The zero insertion force connector system includes a housing with a card guide channel having a top entry and a sliding cam system for interlocking the component card positioner and the component card in an improved manner. The component card positioner includes a card positioning structure with a tab cover structure and a card guide channel positioner for interaction with the sliding cam system of the zero insertion force connector system to properly interconnect the component card. The component card includes card contact tabs protected by a tab cover structure in the component card positioner and related to connector contacts positioned in the housing of the connector. The sliding cam system includes card retention lobes that mate with the lobe positioners in the card guide channel positioner for positioning the component card in an improved physical manner.
