Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A contact assembly is provided comprising a plastic housing including a pair of spaced rows of terminal receiving cavities and a contact in each cavity. Each cavity has a flexible wall, and a link having one end connected to the flexible wall and the other end engaged with a drive operatively mounted between the spaced rows. The drive extends each link, flexes the wall and engages a male terminal inserted in each cavity with the contact in each cavity to establish an electrical connection between the terminal and the contact.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION According to the present invention, a contact assembly is provided for receiving a plurality of male terminals of a modular circuit package.
The contact assembly comprises a plastic housing including a pair of spaced rows of terminal receiving cavities and a contact mounted in each cavity.
Each cavity includes a resilient, flexible wall, a link connected between the flexible wall and a drive mechanism for extending the link, flexing the wall and engaging a male terminal inserted in the cavity with the contact mounted therein to establish an electrical connection between the male terminal and the contact in each cavity.
The contact assembly of the present invention provides for zero insertion force of the male terminals of the modular circuit package by deflecting the male terminals after they have been received in the terminal receiving cavities without any insertion force.
