ABSTRACT:
A construction for an interface between a computer and a transmission medium, such as a telephone line. A memory card may be inserted into the computer and interconnected to an interface module, such as a direct access arrangement, which, in turn, is interconnected to a telephone line. The electronic card and interface module each include a connector for transmitting data signals between each other. Each connector includes two rows of contacts. Each contact in the first row is interconnected to a particular contact in the second row. As a result, the electronic card and interface module cannot be attached to each other "upside down." Further, the electronic card and interface module cooperatively define a latch mechanism for releasably holding the two units together. Further, the two units further define a guide assembly for guiding the contacts of the two units into a correct alignment with one another. The latch mechanism and guide assembly add structural integrity to the construction. Accordingly, there is a lower risk that the electronic card and interface module will be unintentionally pulled apart.
