ABSTRACT:
An apparatus allowing for the removal of a circuit board secured in a housing and in electrical and mechanical contact with one or more coaxial cable connectors without the need to remove any of the coaxial cable connectors from the housing. The apparatus comprises a housing having a plurality of connector means, each connector means having an opening for receiving the center conductor of coaxial cable and a circuit board having a plurality of corners with one or more of the corners having a notch. An electrically conductive retaining member has an interior surface shaped to accept the center conductor and has a threaded aperture that is capable of accepting a binding screw. The apparatus has a locking member rotatably mounted along the interior and exterior surfaces of the retaining member, the locking member rotatable between an open position and a locked position, whereby unscrewing the binding screw and rotating the locking member to the unlocked position opens the bottom of the retaining member and disconnects the center conductor disconnects the center conductor allowing the circuit board to be lifted vertically from the housing without disturbing any of the coaxial cable connectors.
