ABSTRACT:
A dielectric protector (50) for an array of wire wrap posts (18) includes a transverse body section (52) having a like array of holes (56) therethrough corresponding to ends (22) of respective posts (18), with body section (52) just forwardly therefrom; holes (56) permit access to post ends (22) by test probes. Pairs of latch arms (70,80) extend to housing (12) from sides (72,82) of body section (52) having latching recesses (76,86) at outwardly deflectable free ends (74,84), which latch to latching projections (24,26) in channels (30,34) along sides (28,32) of housing (12). Gripping sections (78,88) extend in pairs outwardly of outer face (66) from integral hinge joints (90) joining latch arms (70,80) to body section (52) and are manually deflectable together to deflect free ends (74,84) outwardly and delatch post protector (50) from housing (12). Skirts (94,96) extend inwardly toward housing ( 12) around the periphery of the array of posts (18), and the post protector protects posts (18) from inadvertent damage or contact from debris, stray conductor wires or tools. The post protector may be adapted for polarization with housing (12) and include indicia (92) for identifying each of posts (18).
