Abstract

The connector has opposed rows of elongated terminals having spaced contacts at their free ends. A cam extends lengthwise of the rows and an elongated cam follower is provided for each row of terminals. The followers are located outside the rows, beneath outwardly bowed portions in the lengths of the terminals, and engage the bowed portions and move them into engagement with an inarted card. Then, the bowed portions are stressed to achieve a contact wipe. Shank portions of the terminals extend through a terminal block and present rows of projecting tails below the block adapted for connection to a circuit board. The cam followers are enclosed within a one-piece, non-moving housing. The housing has walls attached to the sides of the terminal block and has top and end walls which are slotted to receive the card. The terminals emerge from the top surface of the terminal block in two rows, and the cams are longitudinally movable in channels defined by the rows of terminals, the housing and the top surface of the terminal block.
