ABSTRACT:
A printed wiring board (20) and housing (12) apparatus in which a coordinate array of terminal contact areas (22) on the board (20) make only simultaneous and exclusive electrical contact with a corresponding array of housing contact springs (42). Premature and unwanted electrical contacts are prevented as the board (20) is moved into association with housing (12) by cam means (40) protruding from each end of a lattice structure (33). Crossmembers (36, 37, 38) of the lattice structure (33) support spring ends (45) to maintain the contact surfaces of the springs (42) out of engagement with the board (20) contact areas (22) as the cams (40) ride along the surface of the board (20) until full insertion movement of the board is completed. At this point, the cams (40) are seated in corresponding recesses (46) provided therefor in the board (20) to permit the mating of the contact areas and housing springs.
