Problems solved by technology

[0005] In addition, the free ends of the traditional ZIF connector terminals tend to move in the direction perpendicular to the drawing, so it is difficult to avoid contact between adjacent terminals, so it is difficult to design high-density ZIF connectors
Another problem is that a high normal contact force is required since the normal contact force with the mating terminal is mainly due to the elasticity of the terminal 504

Embodiment Construction

[0053] Referring first to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is the first embodiment of the ZIF connector of the present invention, wherein Figure 1A for the floor plan, Figure 1B for the front view, Figure 1C for along Figure 1B The cross-sectional view of the C-C line in the middle.

[0054] In FIG. 1 , the ZIF connector 10 includes a metal housing 50 defining the outer dimensions of the ZIF connector. The housing 50 is divided into a pair of half shells 60a, 60b in the width direction, and thus includes a pair of half shells 60a, 60b for accommodating therein two rows of terminals 20, a support 30 supporting the terminals 20, and a cap 40 having an insulating wall 41. , for covering the free end of the terminal 20 at the mating end 15. The terminal 20 is supported by insert molding together with the support member 30 . As shown in FIG. 1 , cap 40 and support 30 are engaged at mating end 15 and opposite end 16 respectively and positioned within housing 50 . Therefore, the plurality of...

Abstract

To comparatively reduce a necessary area for fixing a zero-inserting force connector. A zero-inserting force connector 10 is provided with a protrudent part 54a, 54b standing in positions of both side ends 52a, 52b, including holes 55a, 55b serving as fixing means for fixing on a panel and the like. A relatively hard spacer member is housed in the protrudent part 54a side where an actuator 70 extends in order that the protrudent part 54a may be prevented from deforming in the case of tightening and fixing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an electrical connector, particularly a zero insertion force (ZIF) connector, provided with an actuator for deflecting a terminal prior to mating with a mating connector. Background technique [0002] An example of such a ZIF connector is disclosed in US Patent No. 4,842,538. This ZIF connector includes two opposing rows of terminals; a rotary actuator and an associated slidable cam member forming a mechanism for deflecting the terminals. By turning the actuator, the cam mechanism forces the separate cam members to slide, thereby deflecting opposing rows of terminals to open and closed positions. Each actuator is provided with an operating portion protruding outward from an end wall on one side of the connector housing. [0003] Another conventional ZIF connector is disclosed in JP-U-59-110990. As shown in FIG. 20 , the connector includes two rows of terminals 504 fastened to a housing 502 , and a rotating camshaft 5...
