ABSTRACT:
The disclosed apparatus involves circuit modules paired with companion terminal assemblies alongside each other in an enclosure. The circuit modules are operable along front-to-back paths for installation in the enclosure and removal. The terminal assemblies are also operable along front-to-back paths but at a slant angle to the paths of the circuit modules. The sides of each circuit module and its companion terminal assembly have mating contacts that are in engagement in the operative condition of the terminal assembly and the adjacent circuit module. As a terminal assembly is moved forward or raised from its installed or operative condition, its contacts have a sidewise component of movement that carry them out of the paths of the module contacts, so that the module can be removed and installed with ease. The apparatus can be wired from the front when each terminal assembly is in its raised condition. Interlock means enforces certain sequential operations of the circuit modules and the terminal assemblies.
