Abstract
A handle for electronic components is provided that retains the mechanical function of prior art handles and provides for integration of electronic features, such as indicator lights and associated labels, on a portion of the handle. The present handle is mechanically attached to its associated electronic package, and is also electrically connected to the electronics within the package to provide for operation of the handle's integrated electronic features. Electronic features, for example, status indicators and adjustment features, are positioned on the handle so that the features are available at the front of the component, without using space on the front panel of the electronic package. The handle is especially useful for compact, rack-mounted electronics units.
