ABSTRACT:
The combination of a plurality of like connectors and a pair of clips coupling together the connectors in a stack. Each of the connectors comprises a housing fabricated of an electrically insulating material and is shaped with parallel upper and lower surfaces and with spaced front and rear faces and with spaced edges. Each housing has resilient edge latches positioned adjacent its edges with each edge latch having an extent movable toward the housing upon the application of pressure and resiliently movable away from said housing upon the removal of the pressure. Each of the clips comprises sections formed in a U-shaped configuration. Each pair of clips is positionable in operative association with the edge latches of a plurality of connectors in a stack so as to couple together the connectors of their associated stack and to apply an inwardly directing compressive pressure to a plurality of edge latches in the stack whereby only one edge latch along each edge of a stack of connectors is resiliently biased outwardly. Also disclosed are the clips, per se, and the method of using the connectors and clips.
