Abstract: An information handling system circuit board has an opening formed through it proximate a coupling point of an integrated circuit to the circuit board. The opening manages stress at the coupling point of the integrated circuit to the circuit board to reduce the risk of damage to the coupling point during deformation of the circuit board, such as when the circuit board is coupled to a chassis or when a component is pressed into the circuit board. In one embodiment, rectangular openings are formed at diagonally opposed corners of a BSA integrated circuit. In alternative embodiments, openings of varying shape, such as slots or curved slots, are formed at selected corners of the integrated circuit.

Abstract: An electrical connector includes: an insulative housing defining a front mating cavity; a mating tongue extending into the front mating cavity and defining thereon first and second mating faces opposite to each other, said mating tongue dividing said mating cavity into a first mating space confronting the first mating face for mating with a first complementary connector, and a second mating space confronting the second mating face for mutually exclusively mating with second and third complementary connector; a plurality of first type contacts disposed on the first mating face for connecting with the first complementary connector, a plurality of second type contacts disposed on the second mating face for connecting with the second complementary connector, and a plurality of third type contacts located between the first type contacts and the second type contacts with front ends of the third type contacts exposed to the second mating space.

Abstract: A double-deck connector assembly (1) includes a unitary housing (10) defining upper and lower connection ports (12, 14) with upper and lower central slots (16, 17) for respectively receiving the corresponding upper and lower modules (100, 200) therein. The upper connection port (12) is slightly forwardly offset from the lower connection port (14). A pair of latching arms (20, 22) extend from two opposite ends of each connection port (12, 14) for retaining the corresponding module (100, 200) in position. A latching lug (28, 34) is formed on each latching arm (20, 22) for locking the module (100, 200) in position. A guidance surface (85) is formed around a lower portion of the upper latch arm (20) so that the upwardly rotated lower module (200) can guidably move along the guidance surface (85) to outwardly push away the corresponding upper latch arm (20) thereabove to reach the initial insertion angular position which is essentially above the upper latch arm (20).
