ABSTRACT:
An improved mounting and housing of edge connector assemblies used in conjunction with printed circuit boards, which improvement combines the advantages of a flexible cable connector in accommodating any desired locations of the male prongs of the disk drive or another computer peripheral such or a tape drive, floppy drive, optical drive, etc. with the edge connector advantages of easy slidable connecting motion and elimination of the problem of plugging in the connector backwards. A pair of spaced apart elongated slots are formed in the test printed circuit board adjacent one edge of the board. Two edge connectors are supported by two separate frame members with one edge connector in the first frame member and the second edge connector in the second frame member, and the first frame member and edge connector supported therein is slidably attached at any given location along the length of one of the slots while the second frame member and edge connector supported therein is slidably attached at any given location along the length of the other slot. Then the two frame members and edge connectors supported therein can be moved to any desired location along the length of their respective slots to thereby accommodate the locations of the pair of mating male prongs of the disk drive to be tested.
