Abstract
A connector alignment assembly comprises a support member having a surface from which an array of male connector pins extend outwardly, each male connector pin having a base region proximate the surface of the support member and a tip region proximate the end of each male connector pin. Guide posts extend from the surface in the direction of the array of male connector pins and compression mechanisms, one associated with each of the guide posts. The compression mechanisms are adapted to transition from the uncompressed position to a compressed position. An alignment plate has guide holes which engage with the guide posts to position the alignment plate in a spaced relationship from the surface of the support member. The alignment plate has an array of male connector pin holes which engage with the array of male connector pins.
