Abstract:
A stacked memory module, comprising:a primary circuit board having a first and second surface adapted for mounting electronic components;wherein at least the first surface of the primary board has at least one primary connector and at least one electronic component;a daughter board having a first and second surface adapted for mounting electronic components;wherein at least the first surface of the daughter board has at least one electronic component and at least one daughter connector;the primary connectors being adapted for removeably receiving and electrically coupling the daughter connectors such that the first surface of the primary board and the first surface of the daughter board face each other wherein the primary and daughter connectors and the electronic components on said first side of the primary and daughter boards are configured so as to define at least one channel that is free of said connectors and components and which extends between at least two edges of said primary and daughter boards so as to conduct heat from said electronic components away from said primary and daughter boards via said at least one channel;a control connector adapted to engage with a connecting port on a supporting structure;the control connector being provided at an end of the primary board; andwherein the primary circuit board and the daughter circuit board are interconnected in a spaced and substantially parallel relation.
