Abstract
A system for interconnecting the bus structure of separate I/O block units to form a common system backplane for data communications purposes. The system includes sets of pins and matching pin receptacles electrically coupled to bus structures on circuit boards installed on base units onto which different types of I/O modules can be removably mounted. The pins and pin receptacles for each base unit are mounted on opposite lateral sides of the base units. The pins and pin receptacles are constructed and arranged for convenient interconnection between the bases of adjacent units whereby a common system backplane may be formed.
