Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for mounting an edge connector assembly within a circuit module. Connector mounting rails are attached to the sides of a printed circuit board and the circuit board is then joined with a cold plate in order to form a circuit module. The mounting rail is an elongate strip of a substantially rigid material for attachment to the circuit board along one of its edges. The strip has an upper planar surface and inner and outer sides. The inner side is for attaching the strip to the edge of the circuit board. The outer side extends beyond the edge of the circuit board and is adapted to carry thereon a female block of the edge connector assembly. The strip also has a plurality of primary mounting openings formed in a predetermined pattern through the outer side of the strip for attaching the circuit board to a circuit module.
