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 18):
A communication system comprising:\n a first circuit card assembly having a first printed circuit board (PCB) and a first electrical connector mounted to the first PCB, the first PCB having a first surface and a second surface extending along a primary axis and a secondary axis, the first PCB having a first mating edge between the first and second surfaces generally parallel to the secondary axis of the first PCB, the first PCB having a first slot between the first and second surfaces open at the first mating edge and extending a length generally along the primary axis of the first PCB, the first PCB having a first mounting area on the first surface adjacent the first slot with the first electrical connector mounted to the first mounting area, the first electrical connector having a front and a rear opposite the front, a mounting end extending between the front and the rear being mounted to the mounting area, and a mating end extending between the front and the rear generally parallel to the primary axis of the first PCB, the first electrical connector having first contacts including mating ends at the mating end of the first electrical connector and terminating ends at the mounting end of the first electrical connector terminated to the first PCB, 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 mounted to the second PCB, the second PCB having a first surface and a second surface extending along a primary axis and a secondary axis, the second PCB having a second mating edge between the first and second surfaces generally parallel to the secondary axis of the second PCB, the second PCB having a second mounting area on the first surface proximate to the second mating edge with the second electrical connector mounted to the second mounting area, the second electrical connector having a front and a rear opposite the front, a mounting end extending between the front and the rear being mounted to the mounting area, and a mating end extending between the front and the rear generally parallel to the primary axis of the second PCB, the second electrical connector having second contacts including mating ends at the mating end of the second electrical connector and terminating ends at the mounting end of the second electrical connector terminated to the second PCB, each of the second contacts having a second mating interface, the second mating edge of the second PCB being received in the first slot to align the mating end of the second electrical connector with the mating end of the first electrical connector; 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, and 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.
