ZIF CONNECTOR IN WHICH A POSITION OF A CONTACT IS AUTOMATICALLY ADJUSTED DURING A CONNECTING OPERATION

摘要

In a ZIF connector having first and second connectors (1,11), the first connector includes an operating member (5) rotatably held by a first insulat or portion (2,3) holding first contacts (4) arranged adjacent to one another in a predetermined direction. The second connector includes a floating member (15) held by a second insulator portion (12, 13) to be rotatable and slidabl e in the predetermined direction. The floating member has a first and a second surfac e (15b, 15c) which face the first contacts and the operating member, respectively, in a mutually fitted state of the first and the second connectors. Second contacts (14) have one parts held by the first surface and arranged adjacent to one another in the predetermined direction. The floating member is rotated i n a first rotating direction to bring the second contacts into contact with the first contacts when the operating member is rotated in the mutually fitted state.< /SDOAB>
