ABSTRACT:
In order to connect cables to printed circuit boards disposed in an equipment housing, the back ends of the printed circuit boards are equipped with female multi-point connectors. The female multi-point connectors are inserted into male multi-point connectors which are fastened to the front side of a rear wall panel extending transversely to the printed wiring boards. The male multi-point connectors have straight pins which extend through holes in the rear wall panel and project beyond the back side of the rear wall panel. Guide frames for female multi-point connectors are mounted on the back side of the rear wall panel and surround rows of projecting pins. The female multi-point connectors are connected to cables and inserted into the guide frames, thereby electrically connecting the cables to the printed circuit boards. If desired, male multi-point connectors may be fastened to the front ends of the printed circuit boards, and these male multi-point connectors are enclosed by guide frames whose dimensions are matched to the dimensions of the front plates which would otherwise be attached to the printed circuit boards. The printed circuit boards can then be mounted within the equipment housing via the guide frames.
