Subject: Looking for test fixture quick release snap-in hold-down clamp



We are using some really neat snap-in clamps for our test fixtures.  The
snap-in latches allowing us to press the boards onto our spring probe
fixture with a simple 2-handed motion.  The quick release leavers
retract the latches, and the spring probes pop the board up for easy
removal from the alignment pins. 

 We found a quantity of these latches on some old testers, but are
running out of reclaimed stock.  In my web searches, I have found
nothing like these handy devices, so I am going to my best search engine
. . . TechNet!  Can "you guys" suggest a source for these latches, or
maybe similar latches?  

(the picture has been sent to Steve Gregory in hopes of inclusion on his
technical picture site) 


Thanks,
Carl
