ABSTRACT:
A programmable input-output electrical connector is provided for electrically coupling a plurality of conductors with an electronic component having a plurality of circuits. The connector includes a dielectric housing. A programming multi-contact bus is mounted in the housing. The bus includes a plurality of spring contacts normally biased into engagement with respective circuits on the electronic component. The spring contacts are individually selectively movable to inoperative positions out of engagement with the circuits. Latch devices are operatively associated with the spring contacts for positively holding each spring contact individually in its inoperative position.
