Abstract:
A communication system includes first and second circuit card assemblies mated such that first and second PCBs move relative to each other along a board mating axis parallel to a slot in the first PCB with the first PCB oriented perpendicular to the second PCB and with first and second mating ends of first and second electrical connectors oriented parallel to the board mating axis. The first and second circuit card assemblies are mated such that the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector move relative to each other along a connector mating axis perpendicular to the board mating axis. First mating interfaces of first contacts are mated to second mating interfaces of second contacts in a contact mating direction non-parallel to the board mating axis and non-parallel to the connector mating axis.

Claim (Index 1):
A communication system comprising:\n a first circuit card assembly having a first printed circuit board (PCB) and a first electrical connector, the first PCB including a first slot extending rearward from a first mating edge of the first PCB, the first electrical connector being mounted to the first PCB along the first slot, the first electrical connector having a first mating end and first contacts at the first mating end, each of the first contacts having a first mating interface; and a second circuit card assembly having a second PCB and a second electrical connector, the second PCB having a second mating edge, the second electrical connector being mounted to the second PCB proximate to the second mating edge, the second electrical connector having a second mating end and second contacts at the second mating end, each of the second contacts having a second mating interface; wherein the first and second circuit card assemblies are mated during a board mating stage such that the first PCB and the second PCB move relative to each other along a board mating axis parallel to the first slot with the first PCB oriented perpendicular to the second PCB and with the first and second mating ends of the first and second electrical connectors being oriented parallel to the board mating axis, the second mating edge of the second PCB being received in the first slot to align the second mating end of the second electrical connector with the first mating end of the first electrical connector for mating the second electrical connector with the first electrical connector; wherein the first and second circuit card assemblies are mated during a connector mating stage such that the first electrical connector and the second electrical connector move relative to each other along a connector mating axis perpendicular to the board mating axis; and wherein the first mating interfaces of the first contacts are mated to the second mating interfaces of the corresponding second contacts in a contact mating direction non-parallel to the board mating axis and non-parallel to the connector mating axis.
