ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for connecting and disconnecting, locking and unlocking, and holding members to one another, and at the same time providing mechanical, electromagnetic shielding, electrical conductivity, and thermal dissipation, coupled with environmental sealing, is provided by a body having a groove and a coil spring disposed within the groove. A housing, having an opening sized to accommodate the body, is provided, and a tapered bottom in the groove prevents the spring from turning past a vertical line, thus locking or connecting the body with the housing.
