Abstract
This invention relates to a connector for coupling a printed circuit board to an outside circuit and includes means to clamp said connector to said circuit board to form a sturdy circuit element that can be tested for conductivity without requiring spot soldering in the clamped portions. The connector may be readily disconnected from the printed circuit board should the test fail and another printed circuit board readily substituted. The connector, with the printed circuit board clamped thereto, is maintained in clamped relation for further assembly with other assembly elements should the test be passed.
