Abstract
A system includes an interconnect that is seated and retained in a connector using a number of bumpletts arranged in the system to exert a cam force that encourages retention of the interconnect in the connector. The connector is coupled to a target board. The connector comprises a spacer nest and a pair of boards, such as printed circuit boards, that may contain electrical circuitry. The cam bumpletts may reside at the interconnect, or on either or both of the pair of boards of the connector.
