Abstract
A zero insertion force board to board edge connector for use with orthogonal printed circuit boards includes two mutually laterally shiftable camming members with a connecting element mounted on one camming member in opposition to conductive paths on the printed circuit boards. The camming and connecting members are laterally insertable and removable from a channel in a housing attached to one printed circuit board. The connecting element includes conductive traces which can be carried on a dielectric film and an elastomeric member biasing the conductive traces into engagement with the conductive paths.
