Abstract
A substrate carrier device is disclosed which is used to mount and electrically connect an electrical substrate to a carrier substrate. The substrate carrier device includes a tray having planar top and bottom surfaces. The top surface has the electrical substrate mounted thereon. Substrate guide rails extend from the major perimeter edges of the bottom surface of the tray. The guide rails are inserted and accepted within a pair of substrate guides found on the carrier substrate. Electrical connection devices located on the tray, engage associated electrical connectors on the carrier substrate, providing an electrical path between the electrical substrate and the carrier substrate.
Claims7
A substrate carrier device mounting and electrically connecting an electrical substrate to a carrier substrate, said carrier substrate further including a plurality of electrical connectors connected to a source of electrical signals, said substrate carrier device comprising:
- means supporting an electrical substrate including a generally planar first surface having said electrical substrate mounted thereon, a generally planar second surface, and a plurality of rectangular openings extending longitudinally along a central axis of said means supporting, each of said openings equidistantly spaced from the other forming transversely oriented surfaces therebetween;
- means mounting a pair of guides to said carrier substrate said substrate guides located along the major perimeter edges of said means supporing second surface, said means mounting slidably inserted and accepted within said substrate guides;
- and,
- means making an electrical connection having a first leg extending through each of said transversely oriented surfaces to said electrical substrate, and a second leg extending horizontally from said first leg parallel to said second surface, said second leg located within a respective one of said plurality of electrical connectors, said connection means connecting said electrical substrate to said source of electrical signals.
