Patent attributes
A ZIF electrical connector comprises a base and a sliding cover. The base defines a plurality of terminal-receiving cavities receiving a plurality of conductive terminals. The cover moves along a first direction and defines a plurality of through holes corresponding to the terminal-receiving cavities. The base defines a recess portion partly slant with the first direction. A slider moves in the recess portion and has a body and part of the body intervening with the cover. A drive means extends into the insulative housing and contacts with the body of the slider. When the drive means operates out of the insulative housing, the drive means drives the body to move along a second direction slant the first direction and further drive the cover to displace along the first direction between a first position and a second position.
