ABSTRACT:
Alignment apparatus for aligning contact pins exiting an electrical connector comprises an elongate body of electrically insulative material having a generally flat base defining a plurality of passages opening into respective upper and lower surfaces of the base portion, first projections integral with the body and extending upwardly of the base upper surface, the first projections being disposed interiorly of longitudinally opposed end margins of the body, and second projections integral with the body and extending upwardly of the base upper surface, the second projections being cantilever-supported by the base such that free ends of the second projections distal from the base upper surface may occupy positions variable longitudinally of the base. The first projections provide for registration of the alignment apparatus with a connector and are adjacent longitudinally opposed margins of the apparatus. The second projections include latching structure at the free ends thereof for mating with complemental latching structure of a connector.
