Abstract:
A card edge connector comprising:a plurality of card-receiving areas, each card-receiving area of the plurality of card-receiving areas for receiving an edge of a circuit board of a plurality of circuit boards; a connector electrical contact to electrically connect with a circuit board electrical contact of the edge of each circuit board of the plurality of circuit boards simultaneously, thereby electrically connecting the plurality of circuit boards; and a sliding mechanism for sliding the card edge connector between a first circuit board of the circuit boards and a second circuit board of the circuit boards such that: the connector electrical contact simultaneously contacts a first circuit board electrical contact of the first circuit board and a second circuit board electrical contact of the second circuit board after the card edge connector slides; and the first circuit board remains stationary and the second circuit board remains stationary when the sliding mechanism slides the card edge connector.
