Abstract:
A PC board cartridge for a computer terminal, the cartridge including a casing for holding a PC board with a connector mounted thereon. A handle is pivotally mounted on the casing along an axis extending in a plane that extends perpendicular to a major surface of the board and intersects the board at the connector. The PC board cartridge preserves electrical and mechanical connector integrity by providing a handle for removal which applies generally equal forces across the connector during removal. In addition, no additional hardware is required for assembly, installation, or removal of the cartridge.
