A stacked multiple connection module that provides multiple times the input/output (I/O) signal capacity of a single connection module. In one embodiment, a stacked dual connection module includes first and second circuit boards with respective edge connectors maintained at a parallel offset and configured to couple to a mating two slotted stacked edge connector. A connection means is provided to couple signals between the first and second circuit boards, such that components mounted on the first and/or second circuit board are enabled to access I/O signals via both of the edge connectors, thus doubling I/O signal capacity. In one embodiment, the stacked dual connection module comprises an Advanced Mezzanine Card (AdvancedMC) module having edge connectors configured to mate with an AdvancedMC connector.

An apparatus includes a circuit board and a connector assembly which extends outwardly from the circuit board and is capable of simultaneously being connected to a plurality of mezzanine cards.

Apparatus interconnecting circuit board and mezzanine card or cards

An electronic package for providing an increased density of electronic components in systems includes electronic components mounted on two surfaces of a substrate. Electrical coupling is provided by electrical contacts mounted with substantially the same arrangement and number on both surfaces of the substrate. Two conductive substrates having apertures are mounted adjacent and substantially parallel to the two component mounting surfaces such that the electrical contacts mounted on the two surfaces protrude through the apertures of the two conductive substrates. The two conductive substrates are coupled to one or more heat sinks to conduct heat away from the multiple electronic components contained between the conductive substrates. Multiple electronic packages can be coupled together to form a stacked electronic package by physically connecting the electrical contacts of the electronic packages.
