Abstract
A card cage for supporting an array of printed circuit cards and permitting connection of the cards to a backplane includes an upper guide plate integrally formed with opposed downwardly extending sides and a lower guide plate integrally formed with opposed upwardly extending sides. The sides of the upper and lower guide plates are provided with latch members for connecting the guide plates together. When the two guide plates are assembled, a backplane is connectable thereto also using latch members. In addition, two or more assembled card cages may be stacked vertically an also connected by latch members. Thus a completely fastenerless card cage system is made possible. Moreover, the card cage may be molded from a suitable thermoplastic material having superior resistance to corrosive environments.
