Abstract

1521274 Two part electrical connector MOLEX Inc 10 Oct 1975 [17 Oct 1974] 41659/75 Heading H2E In a zero insertion force connector of the type disclosed in Specification 1,497,606 the movement of housing 22 relative to housing 24 to abut the initially spaced pairs of terminals is effected by an actuation device comprising a cam surface formed on one housing and cam means which is movable from a released to a latched position. Interengaging means formed on the cam surface and cam means holds the cam means in the latched position. As described, the actuation device comprises two elements 80 situated on the outside of side walls 72 of a socket housing 24. Each element 80 comprises an arm portion 84 extending from an integral hinge portion 82 of reduced crosssection. A wedge shaped cam portion 86 extends perpendicularly from the free end of each arm portion 84 and is received in a respective aperture 90 in each of the walls 72. Two cam surfaces 92 are formed on the interior of an end wall of the socket housing 24, and each is provided with a protrusion 98 which snap fits into a recess 100 formed on each of cam portions 86 to maintain each element 80 in its latched position. Proper latching of both elements 80 can only be achieved when the pairs of terminals are correctly situated in their respective contact chamber. Coupling of the housings 22, 24 requires zero force insertion of plug housing 22 in socket housing 24 when projections 70 slide along one arm of a L-shaped recess 74, the latching operation causing the transverse movement of projections 70 along the other arm of the recess 74.
