Abstract

A card guide for positioning a circuit card relative to a backplane is disclosed. The card guide provides electrical contacts to a ground plane on the circuit card in addition to positioning the card. The card guide utilizes two types of protuberances to reduce the force needed when the card is inserted or removed from the card guide, while providing accurate mating of paired connectors.
