ABSTRACT:
A quick connection system and method for coupling two housings, e.g. a telephone and special function module, includes a bracket having at least one hole. The bracket comprises a slide latch having a slide latch aperture, with the bracket fastened to the first housing base and extending beyond a side of the first housing so that the slide latch and hole overlap the second housing when the second housing is placed adjacent to the first housing. At least one shear boss is affixed to the second housing. A slide latch receptacle is mounted to the second housing, such that the hole on the bracket receives the shear boss and the slide latch on the bracket receives the slide latch receptacle when the second housing is placed adjacent to the first housing. The slide latch can be engaged to rigidly interlock the first housing to the second housing.
