Abstract
The PCB zero-insertion-force connector has a housing and two connector halves inside the housing. The connector halves can be swiveled toward each other and away from each other. In a mounting position, in which they are swiveled away from each other, the connector halves allow the insertion of a PCB which is to be brought connected with the PCB upon which the housing is mounted. In a connecting position, the connector halves are swiveled toward each other. The connector halves of the PCB zero-insertion-force connector are formed of a plurality of connector-half modules which are arranged in series alongside one another.
