9326 A zero insertion force electrical connector comprises a row of electrical terminals which can be moved to an open position to allow the insertion into the connector, substantially without force, of a male contact member and to a closed position to engage the male member. The terminals are moved between these positions by means of a lever pivoted to a connector housing body part. In order to permit the forcible insertion of locking portions of the terminals into holes in a support, without damage to the body part and the lever, the terminals are provided with seats for a terminal insertion tool. Also to this end, the lever may be resiliently mounted to the body part. |
