ABSTRACT:
A zero-insertion force connector having a frame which includes a selectively deformable base. Contacts are supported by the base and are selectively displaced from an insertion path when the base is deformed, allowing insert elements, such as wire from flat cable, or a printed circuit board, to be inserted between the contacts without substantial resistance. Releasing the force which is deforming the base allows the base to return to its rest shape under a natural resiliency of the material used to make the base, which causes the contacts to move against the inserted element and establish electrical communication.
