Abstract
An adapter having solderless wire terminals for receiving the wire leads from an electrical equipment such as a radio or stereo player set is installed on the back of such set. Such terminals have solderless spring connectors for the wire leads, these connectors employing a pair of opposing apertured fingers which overlap when manually urged together against the spring action to permit the insertion of a wire lead in the aperture thereof and to be retained therein by the spring action. The equipment or stereo set is removably installed in a mounting frame which is mounted in the vehicle. The mounting frame has a terminal therein which the terminal of the set matingly engages to provide electrical connections therebetween. The terminal of the mounting frame has solderless spring connectors similar to those of the terminal of the equipment, such connectors receiving the various wiring leads from the equipment to the power source, speakers, etc. The mounting frame has two sections which are adjustable to vary the depth thereof to accommodate equipments of various depths.
