ABSTRACT:
A mechanism for aiding the insertion and extraction of an avionics electronic chassis having a plurality of electrical connectors on to a mounting tray with a corresponding plurality of mating electrical connectors. Levered camming hooks on the chassis, matched with fixed keeper pins on the tray are rotated by a rotary, torque limiting knob and screw arrangement to engage the keeper pins and thereafter pivot thereon. Upon insertion, rotation of the knob applies a limited translational force between the electrical connectors sufficient to effect a full mating of the connectors but insufficient to cause any damage to the connectors should there be any misalignment therebetween. The mechanism has a very short longitudinal profile in its extracted position thereby rendering it useful in restricted spaces. The mechanism further conveniently provides a carrying handle for the chassis.
