ZIF connector in which a position of a contact is automatically adjusted during a connecting operation

A second connector to be fitted and connected to a first connector, said first connector comprising a first insulator portion, a plurality of first conductive contacts held by the first insulator portion and arranged adjacent to one another in a predetermined direction, and an operating member rotatably held by the first insulator portion, the first insulator portion including an insulator holding the first conductive contacts, and a frame coupled to the insulator, holding the operating member, and fitted to the second connector, the second connector comprising:

• a second insulator portion;
• a floating member held by the second insulator portion to be rotatable and slidable in the predetermined direction, the floating member having a first surface and a second surface facing the first conductive contacts and the operating member, respectively, in a mutually fitted state where the first and the second connectors are fitted to each other;
• and
• a plurality of second conductive contacts having one parts held by the first surface and arranged adjacent to one another in the predetermined direction,
• the floating member being rotated in a first rotating direction to bring the second conductive contacts into contact with the first conductive contacts when the operating member is rotated in the mutually fitted state.

A first connector to be fitted and connected to a second connector, said second connector comprising a second insulator portion, a floating member held by the second insulator portion to be rotatable and slidable in a predetermined direction and having first and second surfaces opposite to each other, and a plurality of second conductive contacts having one parts held by the first surface and arranged adjacent to one another in the predetermined direction, the first connector comprising:

• a first insulator portion;
• a plurality of conductive contacts held by the first insulator portion and arranged adjacent to one another in the predetermined direction;
• and
• an operating member rotatably held by the first insulator portion,
• the floating member rotating in a first rotating direction to bring the second conductive contacts into contact with the first conductive contacts in a mutually fitted state where the first and the second connectors are fitted to each other.
