Electrical bridge

摘要

An electrical bridge is provided for electrically connecting first and second electronic modules that include first and second external chassis, respectively. The electrical bridge includes a rigid housing extending along a fixed path from a first end to a second end, and first and second electrical contacts held by the housing. The first and second electrical contacts are positioned at the first and second ends, respectively, of the housing. An electrical pathway is defined within the housing from the first electrical contact to the second electrical contact such that the first and second electrical contacts are electrically connected. The first and second ends of the housing are configured to be mounted to the first and second external chassis, respectively, such that the first and second electrical contacts are configured to mate with, and thereby electrically connect to, the first and second electronic modules, respectively.

主权项

1. An electrical bridge for electrically connecting first and second electronic modules that include first and second external chassis, respectively, the electrical bridge comprising:
a rigid housing extending along a fixed path having a U-shape from a first end to a second end; first and second electrical contacts held by the housing, the first electrical contact being positioned at the first end of the housing, the second electrical contact being positioned at the second end of the housing; and an electrical pathway defined within the housing from the first electrical contact to the second electrical contact such that the first and second electrical contacts are electrically connected together, wherein the first and second ends of the housing are configured to be mounted to the first and second external chassis, respectively, such that the first and second electrical contacts are configured to mate with, and thereby electrically connect to, the first and second electronic modules; wherein the U-shape of the fixed path of the housing defines a handle that is configured to be grasped by a user to at least one of mount the first and second ends of the housing to the first and second electronic modules, respectively, or dismount the first and second ends of the housing from the first and second electronic modules, respectively.
