Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0002114A1] The connector comprises a housing (12) containing a row of electrical contacts (18), a cam (60) being rotatable about its own axis to raise a contact driving member (16) to cam the contacts (18) away from a printed circuit board receiving channel (28) formed in the housing (12) to allow the insertion of a printed circuit board into the channel (28) without the board engaging the contacts (18), and to permit ready removal of the board from the channel (28). To ensure that the contacts (18) are disengaged from the board only sequentially in groups, the contact driving member (16) is formed with relatively stepped, contact engaging, surfaces (47).
