DEFINITION
Classification: 439/122
Coupling part with actuating means urging contact surface to move with respect to rest of connector and toward mating contact:
(under subclass 121) Electrical connector comprising a coupling part* including means to exert pressure on a contact thereof tending to move that contact with respect to other portions of the connector to cause it to make engagement with a contact of a mating part*.
(1) Note. The "means to urge" of this subclass is part of the device, such as a cam or wedge, rather than a spring, a gravity utilizing device, or a handle with no force modifying
linkage. Note further that it is not necessary that the contact actually move.
(2) Note. Included herein is a "zero insertion withdrawal force" connector in which that connector is brought into position with the mating part and subsequently the contacts are caused to move into engagement with each other.
