Abstract
A zero insertion force dual in-line LCD connector has a connector body which holds the base ends of a plurality of resilient contacts in electrical engagement with a printed circuit board and holds the end points of these contacts in two substantially parallel rows. An actuator is mountable on the connector body to support a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel and is movable thereon between a first position wherein the LCD panel is distanced from the end points of the contacts and a second position wherein electrical pads on the LCD panel are moved into electrical engagement with the end points. The contacts are resilient to permit a wiping movement of the end points against the pads on the LCD panel when the LCD panel is moved into the second position.
