摘要：<p>A bistable zero insertion force connector assembly including one or more conductive contact members (12). Each conductive contact member (12) includes mating ends or contact arms having contact surfaces and a resilient central segment (18). Variable engagement means (32) cooperates with each conductive contact member (12) to displace the member from a first stable state to a second stable state and vice versa, with minimal force the member being maintained in the first or second stable states by means of stresses induced in the resilient central segment (18). In the first stable state the contact surfaces of the mating ends or contact arms are disposed in mating proximity to the contact surfaces of the device to be electrically connected therewith with zero force/zero contact while in the second stable state there is secured engagement between the respective contact surfaces. Wiping contact between the respective contact surfaces during transition between the first and second stable states enhances reliability of the electrical connection.</p>
