Patent ID: 8477504

Claim:
An apparatus, comprising: an avionics processing canister coupled to a mounting block, the avionics processing canister comprising: a face plate with a surface that defines a pin-hole and a slot, the slot having a short dimension substantially equal to a diameter of the pin-hole and a long dimension perpendicular to the short dimension, the long dimension being longer than the short dimension; and a first portion of a first blind-mate connector; a first fastener received through the pin-hole and then into a first hole defined by a surface of the mounting block, the diameter of the pin-hole being substantially equal to an outer diameter of the first fastener; and a second fastener received through the slot and then into a second hole defined by the surface of the mounting block, the slot being oriented such that the second fastener constrains rotation of the face plate about a center of the pin-hole to align the first portion of the first blind-mate connector to a second portion of the first blind-mate connector.
