Claims
- 1. An electrical assembly for use with a card, comprising:
a printed circuit board; a fixed stationary clip positioned around said printed circuit board; a header including an insulative housing with therein a plurality of terminals associated moveable with the housing, said header attached to the clip while being able to be movable relative to the clip so as to define a first position where the card has been inserted into the header and is electrically connected to the printed circuit board through at least said terminals, and a second position, away from the first position, where the card can be easily inserted into or withdrawn from the header.
- 2. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the header is rotated with regard to the clip.
- 3. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein the terminals are electrically connected to the printed circuit board through an FPC.
- 4. The assembly as claimed in claim 1, wherein said card is associatively moved with the header between the first position and the second position.
- 5. A method for electrically connecting an electrical card to a printed circuit board, comprising steps of:
providing an electrical card; providing a printed circuit board; providing at least a stationary clip around said printed circuit board; attaching a header to the clip, said header including an insulative housing with therein a plurality of terminals associatively moveable with the housing, said header being moveable relative to the clip so as to define a first position where the electrical card has been fully received within the heard and disposed in a parallel relation with the printed circuit board and a second position, spaced away from the first position, where the electrical card can be easily inserted into or withdrawn from the header.
- 6. The method as claimed in claim 5, wherein the electrical card is filly received within the header and engaged with the terminals when said card is moved between the first position and the second position with the associated header.
