Abstract
A circuit interconnection device for mechanically retaining and electrically connecting a planer substrate such as a thick/thin film circuit to a printed wiring card. The circuit interconnection device is characterized by a generally rectangular device body having planer sidewalls defining a hollow interconnection post receiving area therebetween. A pair of ears extend from a bottom edge of a front wall arranged to have an edge of the substrate rest thereon. A pair of substrate spring members extend outward from a top edge of the front wall to engage the substrate retaining and connecting the substrate to the terminating body. A rear wall includes a pair of post spring members extending inwardly into the post receiving area engaging an interconnection post extending from the printed wiring card thereby retaining and connecting the terminating body to the printed wiring card.
