ABSTRACT:
A removable body for an electrical connector assembly. An electrical connector assembly includes a removable body and a plurality of substantially uniformly spaced pins or leads engaged thereto. The removable body includes a pair of oppositely opposed lever arms, biased in a first position, each lever arm including at least one abutment member and a gripping element. The removable body may also include a plurality of struts disposed between the lever arms and rotatably engaged at each end to a respective one of the lever arms. The removable body also includes a tee section diposed between the lever arms. The tee section includes a flange portion supported by the abutment members, and a web portion disposed between the abutment members. The flanges define a plurality of substantially uniformly spaced holes for receiving the pins. The pins are frictionally engaged to the web portion by the abutment members when the lever arms are in the first position. When the lever arms are actuated, the lever arms rotate about respective ends of the struts to release the abutment members from the pins, thus allowing the pins to easily move relative to the removable body.
