ABSTRACT:
A zero insertion force connector for making contact with the electrical terminals of four printed wiring boards. Two pairs of parallel plates (16, 17; 18, 19), each pair mounted for lateral movement and having a plurality of terminals (29) for making contact with the corresponding electrical terminals of two printed wiring boards when inserted therebetween, are each separated and closed by the rotation of a shaft (37) having two cam plates (39, 40) mounted near the opposite ends thereof. The two cam plates (39, 40) mounted next to the opposite ends of the two pairs of plates (16, 17; 18, 19), respectively, converts the rotational movement of the shaft (37) to the lateral movement of the two pairs of plates (16, 17; 18, 19) thereby separating and closing each pair of plates (16, 17; 18, 19).
