Abstract
A multiple terminal connector has structure which causes the profile of the multiple terminals contained therein to be altered thereby allowing low force insertion of the terminals into respective conductive holes of a multi-apertured device, such as a ceramic integrated circuit. The terminal connector comprises two pieces of insulative material forming a housing. The first housing portion has a plurality of terminals mounted therein and the second portion of the housing is moveable with respect to the first portion along the axial length of the terminals to modify the profiles thereof to facilitate their insertion into multiple plated holes of an integrated circuit board or the like.
