PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD CONNECTOR ASSEMBLY

摘要

An assembly is provided in which a printed circuit board is inserted into a supporting frame for engagement with an electrical connector with zero insertion force. After the printed circuit board is mounted on the frame, electrical contacts in the connector are cam actuated to make electrical engagement with associated contacts on the printed circuit board. A card guide is slidably mounted on the frame for guiding the printed circuit board contacts into juxtaposition with the connector contacts on the frame. A cam for actuating the contacts is carried by the card guide. A lever mounted on the frame shifts the card guide to cam actuate the contacts. The lever latches the printed circuit board in the frame. Lifting the lever releases the cam actuated contacts and the latching arrangement, thus allowing the printed circuit board to be removed from the frame.
