ABSTRACT:
An interface retention and support apparatus and method of use is disclosed. In one form, an extension apparatus can include a first coupling interface operable to be coupled to an first expansion terminal of a printed circuit board. The apparatus can also include a retention mechanism aligned to a surface of the first coupling interface. The retention mechanism can be used to engage a first exterior surface of the first expansion terminal upon coupling the first coupling interface to the first expansion terminal. The apparatus can further include an access terminal operably coupled to the first coupling interface and an expansion circuit coupled between the first coupling interface and the access terminal. The expansion circuit can electrically couple the first expansion terminal to access terminal.
