Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A stacked connector alignment system includes a board with processor and a board connector coupled to the processor. An alignment element is mounted to the board adjacent the board connector. The alignment element includes first alignment members and second alignment members that are spaced apart from the first alignment members. A first component includes a primary first component connector and a secondary first component connector that is located on an opposite surface of the first component from the primary first component connector, and the first alignment members are configured to engage the first component to align the primary first component connector with the board connector. A second component includes a second component connector, and the second alignment members are configured to engage the second component to align the second component connector with the secondary first component connector when the primary first component connector is connected to the board connector.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A connector alignment system, comprising: a base member that defines a board connector channel and that is configured to be located adjacent a board connector such that the board connector is located in the board connector channel; a plurality of first alignment members that extend from the base member to define a first alignment channel, wherein the plurality of first alignment members are configured to align a primary first component connector subsystem…
