Abstract
The connector assembly includes a housing that carries a flexible circuit member and two slide members with slide cam surfaces. A daughter board is secured to one surface on the housing and is electrically connected to the flexible circuit member. The cam surfaces on the two slide members engage cams on a mother board. Movement of the slide member cam surfaces relative to the cams on the mother board moves the housing relative to the mother board and forms an electrical connection between the flexible circuit member and the mother board. A linkage system moves both slide members to form and maintain the electrical connection between the flexible circuit member and the mother board.
