Abstract
An assembly for connecting a first printed circuit board with a second printed circuit board includes an electrical connector connected to one of a first and second printed circuit board. The electrical connector has a retaining mechanism for maintaining the electrical connector in a connected position. The assembly also includes an actuation aid having a first end oriented toward the electrical connector for actuating the retaining mechanism. The actuation aid also has a second end remote from the electrical connector accessible in a region outside the first and second printed circuit board. The first end actuates the retaining mechanism of the electrical connector when the second end is actuated.
