ABSTRACT:
Apparatus (120, 121, 410, 640) is disclosed for facilitating the alignment of an electrical circuit card (109) having an edge-mounted connector (501) thereon with a plurality of backplane-mounted electrical pin contacts (114) in a circuit card mounting assembly (101). Insulative aligners (120, 121) engage a number of the backplane pin contacts (114) in one or more linear arrays of such contacts along top and bottom edges of the assembly (101). Projecting from these aligners (120, 121) are a plurality of alignment dowels (330) which mate with corresponding apertures (414) in a guide ramp (410). The guide ramp (410) accurately positions the edge-mounted connector (501) on an inserted circuit card (109) for engagement with one or more of the linear arrays of contacts (114) in the backplane (113).
