International Classification:

H01R 13/62

US Classification:

439327, 439372, 439262

Abstract:

A mechanism for electrically connecting a first electronic component to a second electronic component. The mechanism includes an actuating member disposed in the first electronic component including a first connector half and an actuation screw having a head and a threaded end. The actuation screw is located in the first electronic component wherein rotation of the actuation screw urges the actuating member in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis of the actuation screw thereby engaging the first connector half to a second connector half disposed in the second electronic component. A method for electrically connecting a first electronic component to a second electronic component includes rotating an actuation screw disposed in the first electronic component and in operable communication with an actuating member disposed in the first electronic component, the actuating member including a first connector half. The actuating member is urged in a direction substantially perpendicular to an axis of the actuation screw by the rotation of the actuation screw and the first connector half is engaged to a second connector half disposed in the second electronic component.
