Abstract:
A carrier/insertion apparatus that has a U channel handle is improved to comprise an insertion portion, a stabilizer plate, and a deflector portion. The substrate that the carrier/insertion apparatus is mounted on comprises a carrier/insertion apparatus interface region that allows the carrier/insertion apparatus to mate thereto. As the carrier/insertion apparatus is slid into place, the deflector portion deflects the substrate a predetermined distance such that the carrier/insertion apparatus can be snapped into place. This arrangement allows for the carrier/insertion apparatus to be mounted on to a substrate without the use of mechanical hardware.
