A keyboard spacer for inhibiting the depression of selected push buttons upon a keyboard is shown including a longitudinal trunk having a first resilient arm which engages a key stem of a keyboard switch between the switch and the push button. As the first resilient arm yields, a second latching arm snaps over the key stem for retaining the spacer in the position desired. The spacer, which inhibits the depression of the push button, may be easily removed if push button operation is desired.

Keyboard spacer

An electrical connector is shown including a sheet metal contact having longitudinal edges which are rolled to form two partially opened cylinders that engage tines formed within a conductive ground plane by cutting recesses into the plane to expose the tines. The tines are designed to present sharp edges to the inner surface of the partially open spring cylinders for assuring high electrical conductivity between the contact and the ground plane.
