Abstract:
An apparatus for electrically interconnecting a first circuit substrate with a second circuit substrate, the apparatus comprising:a first electrical connector which is operatively connected to the first circuit substrate, the first electrical connector mating with a corresponding second electrical connector therefor which is operatively connected to the second circuit substrate; a longitudinal guide for receiving a first edge of one of the first circuit substrate and the second circuit substrate, said longitudinal guide being positioned adjacent another edge of another one of the first circuit substrate and the second circuit substrate and extending therealong in a direction substantially parallel thereto, such that said first edge and said another edge are not located on a same substrate of said first circuit substrate and said second circuit substrate; and wherein when said first edge of said one of the first circuit substrate and the second circuit substrate is received therein, relative translation of the first circuit substrate with respect to the second circuit substrate directs the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector together to thereby provide electrical engagement therebetween.
