ABSTRACT:
A zero insertion force dual-in-line plug and socket assembly comprising a socket housing having spaced rows of finger-proof terminal-receiving compartments and a dual-in-line plug supported by an insulating carrier with barriers extending between and beyond respective plug leads defining a finger-proof enclosure. The dual-in-line plug assembly is receivably as a free fit between the compartment rows and the socket assembly includes a closure member having a series of cams which urge the terminals into engagement with the plug leads on movement to a closed condition. The terminals include sinuous intermediate portions to provide desired flexural characteristics.
