Abstract
A connector for zero or low insertion force receipt of multi-pin arrays, such as those in very large scale integration (VLSI) components, includes cam surfaces for selective movement to oppose the self-biasing forces of connector contacts for pin insertion and reverse movement to permit the contacts to effect tight engagement with the pins under the influence of such self-biasing forces.
