Abstract
A device is disclosed for mounting, interconnecting and terminating printed circuits. The invention comprises a frame of insulating material including a fixed printed circuit substrate and an area for supporting and confining a removable printed circuit substrate. A connector molded on one end of the frame extends input/output signals to both substrates. A handle molded on a second end of the frame includes slots through which clips are inserted electrically interconnecting the two substrates. The clips also aid in retaining the removable circuit substrate to the frame.
