Abstract
An electric connector requiring decreased insertion and withdrawal force, even when including groups of 20 to 40 terminals. The connector includes a male portion, a female portion into which the male portion fits, and a cam mechanism. With the cam mechanism, the male casing fitted in a covering portion of the female casing may be slid horizontally between its original fitting position and a male and female terminal contact position, parallel to the fitting surface of the female casing, so as to slide the male and the female terminals out of or into contact with each other with less force than was required previously.
