ABSTRACT A connector member for application to a suspended ceiling grid member has a plate with a lug providing a re-entrant arm adapted to pass through an aperture in a planar web portion of the grid member and to receive a keeper member to lock the plate to the planar web. One end of the plate is provided with a connector portion having a neck portion for lodging in a secured position in an opening in a side wall of a main grid member to which one end of the first-mentioned grid member is to be connected, and a head portion with a lower edge inclining downwardly and forwardly from the lower edge of the neck portion and having a transverse width no greater than the width of the neck portion. The arrangement facilitates connection of the grid members as the connector portion can be engaged with an opening in a main member without needing to incline or tilt the cross member substantially relative to the main member. Removal of selected cross members from any desired position in the grid is facilitated as the connector member can be readily detached by withdrawing the keeper member from its locked position.
