ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed to provide electrical interconnections between a first electronic device (such as printer) having a plurality of external electrical connectors, and a second electronic device (such as an electronics PCB package) having an electrical connector (such as a mass pin connector) mounted on its housing. The apparatus has an interconnection assembly with a set of electrical connectors adapted to mate with the electrical connectors of the printer, and a mass pin connector along its bottom edge to mate with the corresponding mass pin connector on the PCB package. A predefined set of electrical connections exist between the printer connectors and the mass pin connector on the interconnection assembly. A bracket assembly attached to the printer housing has two tracks that receive the interconnection assembly and permit it to slide along a predetermined axis with respect to the printer housing and the PCB package to permit the mass pin connector of the interconnection assembly to mate with the mass pin connector of the PCB package. An opening through the bracket assembly permits the print cable connectors to pass through the bracket assembly and be connected to the electrical connectors on the face of the interconnection assembly.
