ABSTRACT:
A portable electronic component transport and interconnection assembly 2 includes a removable console 50 that can be mounted in a host or vehicle and connected to a permanently mounted output connector 10 by simple linear longitudinal movement followed by linear lateral movement. The removable console 50 includes input contact members 62, 64 and 66 for connecting the console to a source of power, ground and electrical signals. The input contact members are L-shaped with a contact interface 72 located on the rear of the input contact member. The output connector includes a curved resilient contact 12 that is located on the inside of a connector front wall adjacent to one of several openings 30, 32, 34. A spring loaded door 40 normally closes these openings, but the input contact members push this door 40 during initial longitudinal movement. The input contact members are then moved laterally so that the contact interfaces 72 engage corresponding resilient contacts 12. The input connector 60 can also include a spring loaded shield 74 surrounding the input contact members, that is shifted upon engagement with the exterior of the output connector 10 during mating.
