  • VME P2 five row interface adapter assembly, system, and method
    Patent number: 9595798
    Abstract: A Versa Module Europa (VME) adapter assembly is configured to operatively couple a subsystem to a five row VME64x chassis. The VME adapter assembly includes an adapter circuit board having a mating contact area proximate to a chassis-mating edge, and at least one area proximate to a system-connecting edge that is configured to couple to the subsystem. A mating plug housing is coupled to the mating contact area and may include a chassis interface insert defining a mating interface area having five aligned rows of contact apertures. The five aligned rows of contact apertures are configured to mate with a same number of aligned rows of contact pins within a backplane connector of the five row VME64x chassis.
