Abstract: An assembly is provided for an electronic system. This electronic system includes a base and an electronic component. The base includes a base connector, a bay and a first guide. The first guide is arranged along a first side of the bay. The electronic component is configured to mate with the first guide and to move along the first guide within the bay to an installed position. The electronic component includes a component connector and a brake. The component connector is configured to couple with the base connector when the electronic component is at the installed position. The brake is engageable as the electronic component moves along the first guide to the installed position.

Abstract: The present disclosure sets forth a rigid, self-aligning radio frequency (“RF”) connector comprising a rigid body with a first connection end and a second connection end opposite the first connection end. The RF connector can also comprise a recess disposed on an outer surface of the rigid body between the first and second connection ends, and a collapsible connector support that can comprise a connection portion and a collapsible portion. The collapsible connector support can be disposed within and protrude from the recess while also being configured to collapse into the recess. The collapsible connector support can also be configured to interface with an interfacing surface to facilitate generation of a reaction force sufficient to support the RF connector in an offset position relative to the interfacing surface and to nominally align the RF connector with a device to be connected.
