Abstract
The electrical connector with mounting fixture of the present invention comprises a mounting fixture and a two-piece cable mounting cover. The mounting fixture is mounted to the host computer's internal frame (not shown). This internal frame is a standard frame that is included with the computer for mounting fixed hard disk drives, cd-rom drives, and floppy disk drives. The two-piece cable mounting cover encases the data cable connector and the power cable connector and is mounted to the mounting fixture. The other end of the data cable is connected to the host computer's motherboard. Utilizing the electrical connector with mounting fixture of the present invention, a removable mass storage device can be conveniently removed from or installed into a host computer. Additionally, the present invention significantly reduces the number of connectors, adapters, and connections. Therefore, the problems associated with the conventional removable hard disk drive assembly can be avoided and a more convenient, simple, durable, and inexpensive assembly is provided.
