ABSTRACT:
An apparatus capable of housing PC cards including a PC card with a connector and PC card guide, a housing having an insertion opening for inserting the PC card and a circuit board mounted in the housing. The connecting direction between the PC card and the circuit board is perpendicular to the insertion direction of the PC card. The apparatus further includes guides arranged on the housing having two cam plates which are separated by spacers and supported by a shaft. Each cam plate has a continuously recessed guide path for guiding the PC card. The guide path has a guiding portion and a stop portion wherein the transition of the pivot pin from the guiding portion to the stop portion causes a defined rotation of the plug-in package about the pivot point wherein the plug-in package is rotatably arranged at the pivot point. This allows the PC card to make a pivot motion in order to accomplish the connection between the plug-in package and the circuit board.
