Abstract
A structure for mounting a circuit card. The structure includes a track in which the circuit card may slide and pivot. The card slides into the track and then pivots to engage electrical contacts on the body of the circuit card, rather than on the edge of the card, to mating contacts on the main circuit board in the computer, printer or other electronic device.
