Claim:
1. An interconnect structure for a circuit board comprising: a component circuit board containing a plurality of electrical components; a wafer connector assembly including a plurality of interconnect circuit boards that are in electrical connection with the components circuit board through a plurality of rows of solder joints, the plurality of interconnect circuit boards having a connection end including at least one contact; and an adhesive adhering to and structurally reinforcing only a row of solder joints from said plurality of rows of solder joints that is proximate to the connection end of the plurality of interconnect circuit boards of the wafer connector assembly, wherein the adhesive adheres to each solder joint in said row of solder joints and is not present on a remainder of solder joints that do not include the first row, wherein the adhesive structurally reinforcing the solder joints relieves strain induced on said solder joints when engaging the wafer connector assembly to the header site of a mid plane board of a computing system chassis.
