A zero insertion force ("ZIF") electrical connector for mating the card edge of a daughter-board (7) orthogonally with respect to the surface of a mother-board (5). The connector includes a stacked plurality of compressible electrical contacts (30-1 . . . n, 32-1 . . . n) separated by a plurality of insulating plates (40-1 . . . n, 42-1 . . . n). End caps (26) are anchored to the mother-board (5) and mount the compressible electrical contacts (30-1 . . . n, 32-1 . . . n) and insulating plates (40-1 . . . n, 42-1 . . . n) in a stacked array with each compressible electrical contact (30-1 . . . n, 32-1 . . . n) bridging the junction of the mother-board (5) and daughter-board (7). This way, the array of compressible electrical contacts (30-1 . . . n, 32-1 . . . n) cumulatively complete multiple rows of high-density electrical connections between the mother-board (5) and daughter-board (7).
