In some embodiments, a first conducting line, having a characteristic impedance, connects to a digital device while a second conducting line, also having a characteristic impedance, connects to another digital device. An impedance pathway connects the two conducting lines and has an impedance of at least one-third of the first conducting line's characteristic impedance and of at least one-third of the second conducting line's characteristic impedances. Other embodiments are claimed.

Interconnecting of digital devices

A connector is configured for insertion and removal of a digital device. The connector has contacts arranged to make electrical connection to conductors on the digital device while the digital device is inserted in the connector. A first electromagnetic coupler is connected to at least one of the contacts of the connector. The electromagnetic coupler is configured for electromagnetic coupling at an interface to a second electromagnetic coupler that is connected to a communication bus.

Electromagnetic bus coupling

A device comprises a component having circuitry, a carrier comprising one or more conductive areas to form a portion of an electromagnetic coupler, and a clamp to secure the carrier to the device.

Clamp to secure carrier to device for electromagnetic coupler

An apparatus comprises a first device having one or more conductive areas to form a portion of an electromagnetic coupler and a socket to mount the first device relative to a second device having one or more conductive areas to form the electromagnetic coupler.

Electromagnetic coupler socket

A first device has a first conductive area. A second device has a second conductive area. An electromagnetic coupler is formed by a dielectric between the first conductive area and the second conductive area that is separable at a dielectric interface between the first conductive area and the second conductive area.
