ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector is provided for making electrical connection to a cassette having a plurality of exteriorly accessible terminals. The connector includes a housing having a cavity therein, the cavity being formed for oblique receipt of the cassette. Spring contacts are supported in the connector housing for making electrical engagement with the terminals of the cassette. A latching mechanism is established by cooperative engagement between a projecting pin on the cassette and a groove in the housing whereby pivotal movement of the cassette from its initial obliquely inserted position locks the cassette in the housing and establishes electrical connection between the terminals of the cassette and the contacts of the housing.
