Abstract

A self-locking interposer restraint mechanism is disclosed. Rather than using screws to compress springs, clips are pushed down over the posts to compress the springs. Once the clips are pushed down to a level at which the springs are sufficiently compressed, the clips engage stops fabricated into the posts thereby locking the restraint mechanism.
