Abstract
A multiple circuit board assembly includes stacks (50,52) of printed circuit boards each having a series of hermaphroditic edge connector nodes (46,46a, 82) that electrically connect a printed circuit board (56) of one stack to a plurality of boards of a second stack. Each board edge also includes a service cable connector (74) having electrical power and fiber optic input/output connector elements (161,163) that connect the board to a spring mounted service module connector receptacle (42) in a housing structure (16) that carries the assembled stacks of printed circuit boards. To avoid misaligning forces on the pressure type edge connector node contact elements as these engage one another, the service module connector plug (74) and receptacle (42) are initially spaced from one another at the time of mating contact of the edge connector nodes, and a spring mounted threaded nut (124) and screw (224) arrangement of the plug and receptacle is caused to be resiliently engaged to enable the plug and receptacle to be drawn to one another by the threaded securing elements.
