Electrical connector

摘要

A zero insertion force type connector for connecting pins of an integrated circuit package, which comprised a housing having a plurality of recesses separated from each other by a partition, electrical contact terminals being mounted in the housing through an opening in the slider which is mounted in the recess. The contact terminal comprises a web, blade and terminal portion. The web is formed to provide a resilient body and the blade is provided with an opening which has an enlarged portion and a narrow slot. The web portion is driven by the slider to align the enlarged portion of the opening in the blade with the pin to be connected and when the web portion is returned to its original position, the pin is grasped in the slot and brought into contact with the contact terminal.
