A connector of the type including an aperture for receiving a circuit board includes a base retaining a row of longitudinally spaced contacts. The contacts include flexible portions adjacent one end. A camming bar is seated in the base for longitudinal sliding movement and for swinging movement about a longitudinal axis. A contact actuating member is mounted on the camming bar and is engageable with the contacts. The base and the camming bar include cam means responsive to longitudinal sliding movement of the camming bar for swinging the camming bar and the contact actuating member about the longitudinal axis. In this manner, the flexible portions of the contacts are displaced from the circuit board-receiving aperture to facilitate entry or removal of the circuit board. The base includes a socket within which the camming bar is seated, to form the longitudinal swinging axis of the camming bar.
