A connector of the type including an aperture for receiving a circuit board includes a base retaining a row of longitudinally spaced contacts. The contacts include flexible portions adjacent one end. A camming bar is seated in the base for longitudinal sliding movement and for swinging movement about a longitudinal axis. A contact actuating member is mounted on the camming bar and is engageable with the contacts. The base and the camming bar include cam means responsive to longitudinal sliding movement of the camming bar for swinging the camming bar and the contact actuating member about the longitudinal axis. In this manner, the flexible portions of the contacts are displaced from the circuit board-receiving aperture to facilitate entry or removal of the circuit board. The base includes a socket within which the camming bar is seated, to form the longitudinal swinging axis of the camming bar.

Zero insertion force connector for printed circuit boards

A high contact density connector system for an edge-mount semiconductor package or a like panel member having densely spaced contact means provided along an edge comprises two mating connector parts, each having a one piece insulator housing retaining a plurality of contacts having mating means arranged in a single row. The contacts are assembled into the insulator housings by parallel positioning a plurality of such housings and assembling a transversely positioned row of such contacts into corresponding positions of all housings.

Transverse connector assembly method

A high contact density connector system for an edge-mount semiconductor package or a like panel member having densely spaced contact means provided along an edge comprises two mating connector parts, each having a one piece insulator housing retaining a plurality of contacts having mating means arranged in a single row.

High density electrical connector employing male blade with offset

A plug for connecting a plurality of individual elongate flexible conductors with a card edge connector in which an insulating housing is provided with a substantially planar beam for carrying a plurality of electrically conductive contact members that are each electrically connected with one of the conductors.
