An inter-unit coupling mechanism is provided for coupling electronic units housed in separate enclosures both mechanically and electrically. A movable connector is electrically coupled to one of the units and engagable with a second connector coupled to the other unit. The movable connector is driven along a controlled path provided by a cam surface into straight engagement with the second connector. A lever arm provides a leverage advantage for forcing the two connectors together.
