ABSTRACT:
A module guide assembly (10) having end blocks (30) surrounding a receptacle connector (14) on a circuit board (12), and further having guide members (60) to facilitate mating of a circuit card (104) of a card-containing module (100) with the connector. The guide members (60,62) are pivotably mounted to the end blocks (30) to be rotated between an upright orientation for module receipt, and a recumbent orientation parallel to the board when the module (100) is not mated to the connector. Pivot embossments (44) are seated in apertures (72) to permit pivoting, and slots (78) extend from apertures (72) to an edge of a tab section (74) to receive embossments (44) thereinto during assembly.
