A mounting member for an extractor hold down apparatus permits the extractor to exert both extraction and insertion forces at different angles to, for example, an electronic unit on an avionic rack. The mounting member is provided with a pair of elongated slots that accommodate a cross bar and retaining disks mounted on the power shaft of the extractor. The slots provide an angle range of at least 18°plus or minus 15°.

In an insertion, holddown and extraction apparatus for inserting an electronic unit in and removing it from a substantially horizontal supporting surface in which the electronic unit has the first half of a cable connector mounted at the back end thereof above the supporting surface and the supporting structure has a second half of said connector mounted thereon in a mating position with respect to the first half of the connector, the mating and unmating of the connector halves being accomplished by applying forces to the front end of the unit to slide the unit along the supporting surface, the combination which comprises: means mounted to the supporting structure below the supporting surface thereof and being arranged to be removably attached to the front end of the unit for applying insertion and extraction forces to slide the unit along the supporting surface and mate and unmate the connector halves, respectively, the insertion forces having a vertical component directed downwardly toward the supporting surface and a horizontal component directed towards the rear end of the unit to cause the connector halves to mate; and means for controlling the angle of application of said extraction forces so that the apparatus exerts a horizontal component away from the rear of the unit and substantially no vertical upward component and absorbs upward forces tending to lift the front of the unit off the supporting surface for the duration of the extraction of said first and second halves of the connector whereby the front of the electronic unit is prevented from moving upwardly while the connector halves are being unmated.
