Abstract
An example apparatus includes a first printed circuit board (PCB) having a power layer, a ground layer, and a slot. The slot includes a first power electrical contact that is electrically connected to the power layer and a first ground electrical contact that is connected to the ground layer. The slot extends orthogonally or obliquely through multiple layers of the first PCB. A second PCB includes a second power electrical contact, a second ground electrical contact, and capacitors electrically connected between the second power electrical contact and the second ground electrical contact. The second PCB is configured for insertion into the slot to form an electrical connection between the first power electrical contact and the second power electrical contact and between the first ground electrical contact and the second ground electrical contact.
