ABSTRACT:
A backplane assembly of electronic equipment includes a plurality of coaxial connectors which are engaged by complementary coaxial connectors on a removable circuit card as it is inserted into the equipment. Precise alignment of the coaxial connectors is facilitated by mounting each coaxial connector on the backplane in a resilient bushing which permits limited movement of the connector. The coaxial connectors are arranged in pairs, the connectors of each pair also passing through shaped holes in a grounding and retaining component having spring fingers around its periphery biassed against a ground conductor on the backplane. This component provides for electrical grounding of and shielding around the coaxial connectors, and prevents rotation of each coaxial connector about its own axis.
