  • Enhanced hardware arrangement for mounting a plurality of circuit boards together
    Patent number: 6109930
    Abstract: An enhanced electrical arrangement for a computer includes a first circuit board, and a second circuit board arranged essentially parallel to the first circuit board. A removable array connector is positionable between the first circuit board and the second circuit board. The array connector causes the first circuit board to be in electrical communication with the second circuit board. A clamping arrangement is provided for urging the first circuit board and the second circuit board toward each other, so as to exert a force against the array connector and cause an electrical connection between the first circuit board and the second circuit board. The clamping arrangement includes a back-up plate positionable adjacent to a major surface of the second circuit board, and an arm pivotally connected to the back-up plate.
