ABSTRACT:
A loading and placement device for connecting circuit boards using a flex circuit and a compression connector is disclosed. A mounting mechanism holds one or more circuit boards and a flex circuit and a compression connector couple the circuit boards to a circuit board having a backplate hook and rail housings mounted onto it. The rail housings engage the frame of the mounting mechanism for easy alignment and secure attachment. A plate of the mounting mechanism slides so to engage and rotate a cam handle. The movement of the cam handle compresses the connector against the surface to which the backplate hook is mounted, thus achieving a positive connection which locks the compression connector into a position of uniform compression. The circuit boards may be disengaged by sliding the plate of the mounting mechanism so as to rotate the cams into the unlocked position and pulling the mounting mechanism out of the rail housings.
