Abstract:
A device (1) for interconnection between two electronic devices (2 and 3), this interconnection device (1) carrying one (2) of said electronic devices and being carried by the other (3) of them, and having a printed circuit card (7) comprising two opposite faces (8 and 9) bounded by a peripheral edge (10), the first (8) of said faces having a set (11) of first peripheral contacts (12) which can engage with a group of peripheral contacts (4) that are provided on said electronic device (2) which is carried by said interconnection device (1), while the second (9) of said faces has a set (14) of second peripheral contacts (15) which can engage with a group of contacts (5) that are provided on said electronic device (3) which carries said interconnection device (1), said first and second peripheral contacts (12 and 15) which are carried by said opposite faces (8 and 9) of said card (7) being interconnected, wherein:said second peripheral contacts (15), which can engage with the contacts (5) of the electronic device (3) which carry said interconnection device (1) consist of electrically conductive zones carried by said second face (9);a groove (17) with a conductive wall (18), made in said edge (10) of the card (7) and in electrical connection with said associated second contact, is associated with each of said second peripheral contacts (15);said grooves (17) with conductive walls (18) are electrically insulated from said first peripheral contacts (12) of said first face (8) at the periphery of said card (7)each of said second peripheral contacts (15) is applied against the corresponding contact (5) of the carrying electronic device (3); andthe fastening of said interconnection device (1) on said carrying electronic device (3), as well as the electrical conduction between each of said second peripheral contacts (15) and the corresponding contact (5) of said carrying electronic device (3) are obtained by means of the grooves (17) with conductive walls (18).
