Abstract: For locking a test board connector to a printed wiring board, the connector includes a resilient member with a foot at its distal end and tabs positioned beneath the body of the connector. The foot and tabs extend in opposite directions. Lugs, which are molded to the bottom of the body of the connector serve to align the connector with an opening of the printed wiring board during attachment of the connector to the board. Both the tabs and resilient member are connected to the lugs.

Abstract: An interplane connector assembly for permitting in situ replacement of dual beam compliant contacts that are damaged or non-functional is provided. The interplane connector includes a support for receiving therein at least one row of dual beam compliant contacts and a cover. The cover is adapted to be releasably secured to the support and includes projecting stops that are displaced through a space between dual beams of the contact and received in an opening in the support that is disposed in alignment with the space between the dual beams so that the contact cannot be displaced from the support during insertion of the contact into a circuit board but yet so the contact can be removed and replaced when the cover is removed from the support.
