Abstract
A molded connector housing (10) has respective pairs of integrally-molded latching fingers (18,20,21) for quick assembly to respective mother and daughter boards (11,12). A locking plunger (25) is received between the pairs of latching fingers (18,20,21) to secure the assembly. The plunger (25) may also be used with an axially-compressible fastener or grommet (43). In lieu of the latching fingers, an integrally-molded fastener (50) cooperates with a conical nut (52) having circumferentially-spaced ears (53) slidably received in slots (51) in the fastener.
