Abstract
An improvement is described in a low insertion force connector system wherein an insertable circuit assembly is inserted into a housing against an inplace circuit assembly, with the terminals adjacent but out of contact, at which time a cam is actuated to move a device that deflects one set of terminals against the other. In the present system, the cam includes a portion that deflects against an auxillary terminal to make contact with it before the main terminals are in contact.
