ABSTRACT:
A connecting device for insertion into a slot of a hard drive (5) and having internal circuit closing, the device having a front substrate (1) with slots (12), separated by rails (123). There are metal spring blades (2) located in the slots (12) and the front substrate (1) has guide slots (122). The device also has a movably supported push block (3) with portions (31) for being inserted into the slots (12) with guide blocks (33) to be received in the guide slots (122) in the front substrate (1) and having contact spring blades (35). There is a back substrate (4) coupled to the front substrate (1), the substrate assembly forming a space for movably receiving the push block (3). Insertion of the connecting device into the hard drive slot causes the push block3to move rearwardly against bias springs (45) whereby contact spring blades (35) are moved along a cam surface (100) in the front substrate (1) and pressed upwardly towards a pin contact support (51) within the hard drive slot and simultaneously are moved into conductive engagement with front portions (21) of the metal spring blades (2).
