Imagine if you will, the situation where PCBs are to be concatenated in a plane. Each PCB has an 'incoming connection' at one end and an 'outgoing connection' at the other end. The plane alignment of the PCBs is maintained (eg DIN rail). A method is sought to ensure that firstly, tactile feedback is given to indicate the establishment of the connection(s) and secondly, to ensure that the connection is maintained.
Engagement/disengagement is conducted by hand gripping the sides of the PCB not containing the connectors.
The connectors considered for the application are the Phoenix/Dinkle style which do not have the retentive requirements.
