A dual printed circuit board module having two printed circuit boards mounted in an inwardly facing relationship on two thermal frame members that also function as structural and enclosing members. A connector mounted between and at one edge of the thermal frame members serves to establish electrical connections between the circuit boards and a backplane circuit panel to which the boards are to be connected. A flexible interconnect circuit, located near the same edge of the boards as the backplane connector, is used both to connect the boards to the connector and to provide board-to-board connections independently of the connector. This arrangement greatly facilitates assembly and testing of the module, reduces signal path lengths, and enhances the structural and thermal integrity of the module.
