ABSTRACT:
The present invention comprises an apparatus for electrically and mechanically coupling first and second electronic devices (304, 302), the apparatus comprising a connector (108) for coupling the first and second electronic devices (304, 302) and a cradle (100) for fixing the position of the first electronic device (304). The cradle (100) provides an opening that allows entry and movement of the second electronic device (302) towards the connector (108) while substantially aligning the second electronic device (302) with the connector (108). The cradle (100) further comprises a movable bulkhead (110) mechanically coupled to the connector (108) for substantially aligning the connector (108) with the first and second electronic devices (304, 302) during installation.
