Abstract:
1. In combination: a primary circuit board comprising a thickness dimension, a first surface with a plurality of electrical contact sites for providing operative electrical connections, and a second surface, said primary circuit board substantially configured as an advanced mezzanine card, said primary circuit board further comprising an aperture at a first location for providing access space for an electrical component to pass there through; and a daughter board comprising a first surface with a plurality of electrical contact sites for providing operative electrical connections to said contact sites of said primary circuit board, said daughter board comprising having at least one electrical component operatively attached thereon at a second location and facing away from said first surface thereof, said daughter board being operatively fastened to said primary circuit board with said first surface thereof facing said first surface of said primary circuit board and said electrical contact sites thereof coupled to said electrical contact sites of said primary circuit board to provide ohmic coupling there between, said first and second locations being sufficiently aligned that said electrical component passes through said aperture on said primary circuit board and a faceplate attached to the primary circuit board and having an opening exposing the electrical component, whereby the height of said electrical component above said second surface of said primary circuit board is reduced by said thickness dimension.
