Abstract
An electronic control assembly has a control box, a control module insertable into the control box and an electrical connector which is pivotally mounted within the box, between a position where the control module can be inserted into the box adjacent to the connector and between a position where the electrical connector is in electrical engagement with the electronic module. The electrical connector is pivotally mounted in the control box and includes a lower mounting leg having outer pinion portions which are positioned in a trunnion located in adjacent side walls forming a channel for the receipt of the connector and the module. The electronic module is in precise registration with the connector member, such that when the connector is pivoted into place, the electrical elements within the connector and the electronic module are in precise alignment.
