Abstract
A signal generator assembly having a signal generator and a preformed connector mechanically secured to each other. Posts extend from the signal generator into apertures in the connector. Orifices in the connector intersect the apertures and means are provided to engage the posts within the apertures through the orifices. In a preferred embodiment, the posts are provided with keyways and keys are inserted through the orifices to engage the keyways. The keys may be formed as wedges, preferably having a locking taper, to urge the connector and signal generator into firmer contact. A resilient cushion may be provided between the connector and the signal generator to enhance the interaction of the components.
