Patent ID: 7748992

Claim:
A stackable connector system for stackably interconnecting a plurality of circuit boards, each circuit board having a first side and a second side, comprising: a switching device configured to select a signal based on a location at which a first circuit board connects to a second circuit board; a sense line configured to communicate a location signal that indicates where the location is between the first circuit board and the second circuit board; a first connector comprising a first conductor element disposed at least partially within a first connector body, wherein the first connector is located on a first side of the first circuit board; a second connector comprising a second conductor element disposed at least partially within a second connector body, wherein the second connector is located on a second side of the first circuit board; and wherein the first and second connectors are configured to be connected to an electrical connection element on the first circuit board connecting the first conductor element to the second conductor element through the switching device, wherein the switching device maps the first conductor element to the second conductor element based on the location signal on the sense line.
