Abstract:
1. An electronic device comprising: a first base printed circuit board (PCB); a first edge card socket mounted on said base PCB, said socket having PCB contacts; and a PCB connection unit comprising a printed circuit board having opposing metal contacts connected by metal traces, said unit being slideably connectable to said first edge card socket such that at least some of said metal contacts mechanically and electrically contact said first edge card socket PCB contacts, and adapted to be slideably inserted into a second edge card socket mounted on a second base PCB such that at least some others of said metal contacts mechanically and electrically contact PCB contacts in said second edge card socket, wherein said first edge card socket comprises an opening to allow said PCB connection unit to reciprocally slide forward and backwards through said first edge card socket to make and break an electrical connection between said first base PCB and said second base PCB.
