Abstract
An independent loading mechanism (ILM) for an electrical connector comprises a stiffener, a load plate and a lever pivotally mounted to two opposite sides of the stiffener. The lever stamped and bent from a metal sheet is configured with a depressing portion having a cam tab bent from one side thereof, a pair of rollers mounted onto the depressing portion, an operating portion interconnected to the depressing portion. The cam tab can press the load plate toward the stiffener. The rollers located at two sides of the cam tab can engage with the stiffener to reduce rotational friction between the stiffener and the lever when rotating the operating portion from a horizontal direction to a vertical direction.
