Abstract
A circuit board connecting device electrically connects exposed back ends of circuit boards when the front ends of the circuit boards are received in a holder. The connecting device has first connectors, second connectors and a connector substrate. The first connectors are attached respectively to the back ends of the circuit boards and extend lengthwise with the back ends of the circuit boards. The second connectors are adapted for connection respectively to the first connectors when the first and second connectors are aligned in a plane parallel to a plane in which the circuit boards extend. The connector substrate has the second connectors attached thereto, extending perpendicular therefrom. The second connectors are electrically connected to each other on the connector substrate. The connector substrate is fixedly attached to one of the circuit boards.
