ABSTRACT:
A connector for connecting first and second parts, e.g., first and second printed circuit boards, includes a post having a first end fixedly connectable to the first part and a second end having an enlarged head, and a support having a base portion fixedly connectable to the second part and an aperture through which the post can be inserted in a first direction. A lever is mounted at a portion between its ends on a pivot provided on the support, the pivot having a longitudinal axis extending in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The lever has an engagement surface at one end substantially aligned with the aperture for engaging the enlarged head of the post. An application of force to another end of the lever in a direction opposite the first direction causes the lever to rotate about the pivot, causing the one end of the lever to move in the first direction towards a locked position, and drawing the enlarged head engaged by the engagement surface in the first direction, thereby forcing the first and second parts together.
