Abstract
A pair of zero insertion force terminals having a wiping action include a first terminal having a blade with a pair of oppositely directed embossments and a second terminal with a pair of cantilever arms. The terminals are normally mated with their planes thereof perpendicular to each other and then are relatively rotated about their longitudinal axes to bring the arms into a loaded engagement with said embossments causing a loaded sliding action towards an unmating condition to effect relative wiping action therebetween.
