Zero insertion force electrical connector. The connector comprises a row of electrical terminals (2) which can be moved to an open position to allow the insertion into the connector, substantially without force, of a male contact member (70) and to a closed position to engage the male member (70). The terminals (2) are moved between these positions by means of a lever (66) pivoted to a connector housing body part (24). In order to permit the forcible insertion of locking portions (20) of the terminals (2) into holes (86) in a support (88), without damage to the body part (24) and the lever (66), the terminals are provided with seats (16) for a terminal insertion tool (80). Also to this end, the lever (66) may be resiliently mounted to the body part (24). |
