ABSTRACT:
A board-to-board connector block for horizontally and electrically engaging a secondary board with a source board includes an insulative housing defining a plurality of passageways therethrough for receiving a corresponding plurality of resilient contacts therein, positioning means for properly aligning the connector block onto the source board, a U-shaped lever pivotably engaged with the housing, stabilizing means for holding the lever in place when in a locked position, and fastening means for securing the lever onto the housing. A force from the lever acting on the resilient contacts of the connector block results in a reactive force from each contact acting on a corresponding contact pad of the source board thereby securely and electrically engaging the two boards together.
