ABSTRACT:
A cartridge holder and interconnect system is disclosed formed primarily of two components, namely, a cartridge and an assembly for receiving and holding the cartridge. The holder assembly includes a housing of rigid insulative material and a connector member adapted to engage a circuit board or the like and to engage the cartridge. The holder assembly also has a replaceable face plate profiled for polarizing and keying reception of an appropriate cartridge in the housing. The face plate is detachably secured to the housing so that by simply replacing the face plate the housing can be adapted to receive different cartridges. The housing is also adapted to be situated spaced above a circuit board so as to accommodate components thereunder thereby preserving the available surface of circuit board. The cartridge is formed by a two-piece housing enclosing a circuit board having components, such as integrated circuits, mounted thereon and held within the cartridge in such fashion as to obviate the need for potting, etc. The cartridge also has a connector portion with a profiled mating face for keying and means for covering or exposing a reflective surface used to disable a writing capability for the circuit carried by the cartridge.
