Abstract:
1. An apparatus comprising: a guide plate selectively securable in a position adjacent a first electronic connector, the guide plate including at least one linear slot; a mounting plate positioned generally parallel to the guide plate, wherein the mounting plate has two or more spaced apart mounting pins slidably secured through the at least one linear slot of the guide plate; a rotatable plate pivotally coupled to the guide plate, wherein the rotatable plate includes two or more opposing cam slots slidably receiving the mounting pins; and an electronic circuit board fixedly coupled to the mounting plate, the electronic circuit board having a second electronic connector selectively mateable with the first electronic connector, wherein rotation of the rotatable plate causes the mounting plate and circuit board to move vertically over a distance sufficient to insert and remove the second electronic connector relative to the first electronic connector; wherein the guide plate is slidably insertable in upper and lower guide channels secured in a position to transversely align the first and second connectors.
