Abstract
The expansion card is inserted into a narrow slot through the outside cover of the subscribers terminal and is guided by a carrier into the external connector. A protective casing on the card includes a pivotable door which permits the card to maintain a slim profile. The door is opened during the insertion process into the external connector by a pair of tongs positioned at an inclined angle on the carrier to expose the terminal end of the expanding card.
