Abstract

A high density and multiple insertion connector that minimizes the amount of friction created by coupling and uncoupling of the connector wherein a generally hourglass-shaped insertion member isolates sliding contact between the components to surfaces of low frictional resistance material during the majority of the insertion and removal movements while providing wiping and high contact forces between electrical contacts.
