Patent ID: 7625214

Claim:
A power connector assembly, comprising: at least two generally planar boards joined together, each said board having first and second opposite facing surfaces, said at least two boards being parallel stacked with a planar surface of one board joined to a planar surface of an adjacent board, each said board having at least a first conductive layer as a power plane and a second conductive layer as a return plane, a first connector and a second connector that with said at least two planar boards are joined and form a single integral unit, each said connector comprising a respective contact array electrically connected to said first and second conductive layers, said first connector being joinable to a corresponding connector of a first circuit and said second connector being joinable to a connector of a second circuit so that when the power connector assembly is mated with the first and second circuits, power and return connections are made between the first and second circuits through the power connector assembly.
