Abstract
A cartridge, cartridge holder and connector system are disclosed formed primarily of two components, namely, an electronic component carrying cartridge and an assembly for receiving the cartridge and interconnecting it as an addition to existing equipment. The holder assembly includes a housing of rigid insulative material defining a cartridge receiving cavity and including means for interconnecting the cartridge to a circuit board or the like. The holder also includes a profiled and polarized entry leading to the cassette cartridge cavity. The cartridge is formed by a pair of mating housing members which enclose a circuit board having a plurality of components mounted thereon. An edge portion of the circuit board is accessible from one end of the cartridge so that when the cartridge is inserted into the cavity of the holder there is an electrical interconnection effected.
