Abstract
A card edge connector with a plurality of card-receiving areas for receiving circuit board edges and an electrical contact designed to electrically connect circuit boards with edges inserted into the card-receiving areas. The card edge connector is designed to be used with at least two circuit boards installed within an apparatus, such as a computer chassis, in a fixed position. The card edge connector is designed to be removably installed on one of the circuit boards. The card edge connector is adapted to slide, or translate, over the circuit board on which it is installed and onto the contacts of another fixed circuit board. An electrical connection is established between the fixed circuit boards, which remain stationary while the card edge connector slides to form the electrical connection between them.
