ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for securing a circuit card in a connector. The apparatus includes a frame member that defines an opening that is sized so as to receive the connector therein. The apparatus also includes an anchor member that is adapted to engage with the connector so as to anchor the frame member on the connector. A securing member is attached to the frame member and is adapted to engage with an aperture formed in the circuit card so as to retain the circuit card in electrical connection with the connector. The securing member is movable between a first position, where it secures the circuit card in the connector, and a second position where it is at least partially removed from the plane of the opening in the frame member so as to allow the circuit card to be positioned in electrical contact with the connector.
