Claims5
An improved cantilevered circuit card guide of the type to be attached at its base to a connector block, and having a pair of oppositely facing parallel slots each adapted to receive an edge of a circuit card and permit it to slide therein toward the connector block, wherein the improvement comprises a) a tongue on the base end projecting approximately transverse to the directions faced by the slots and contacting the connector block when attached thereto, and b) a pair of projections on the base end, defining between them a groove oppositely facing from the tongue, and contacting the connector block when attached thereto, and allowing the tongue on an identical circuit card guide attached adjacent the groove with its tongue facing it, to project into the groove.
