ABSTRACT:
A card cage includes upper and lower support members which define a slot for receiving a printed circuit board. An engagement mechanism includes one or more handles pivotally mounted on the front of the card cage. Each handle, in turn, is pivotally attached to a rod which extends to the rear of the card cage and terminates in an extraction member which receives the rear corner of a cirucit board. When the circuit board is mounted in the card cage, the handle is pivoted to contact the forward edge of the board and urge it into position in the cage, thereby urging contacts along the rear edge of the board into engagement with a connector at the rear of the card cage. When the board is to be removed from the card cage, the handle is pivoted in the opposite direction, enabling the extraction member at the rear to pull the board forwardly out of engagement with the connector and permitting the board to then be removed from the card cage.
