Abstract
A low insertion force connector for DIP leads includes a pair of pusher rails for engaging and closing normally open receptacle contacts. The rails cooperate with a unitary, lever actuated cam. A cover retains the rails and cam stackably assembled to a housing containing the contacts. The cam has serially arranged cam surfaces, guide keys and detents which interengage various assembled parts of the connector.
