ABSTRACT:
A hidden panel connector for an electronics enclosure having a removable cover member and a fixed cover member. The fixed cover member is provided with a curved member which projects from the fixed cover member and curves in an upward direction. The removable cover member is provided with a cam member which slideably engages the curved portion so that the removable cover member is vertically rotatable about the fixed cover member. Each cover member has a periphery with lips disposed thereon, which lips engage one another to provide additional stability. Each of the cover members also includes an interlocking member. The interlocking members are engageable with one another to prevent the removable cover member from being vertically displaced from the fixed cover member. The curved cam and interlocking members are integral with and disposed on the inside walls of the fixed and removable cover members to provide a connector hidden on the inside of the electronic enclosure.
