Abstract
A circuit board is configured to exchange data signals with a circuit board component through data signal contacts located between the circuit board and a primary surface of the circuit board component. The circuit board has power supply signal contacts that are configured to carry power supply signals to the circuit board component through a secondary surface of the circuit board component. A signal carrier connects the power supply signal contacts of the circuit board with the circuit board component through the secondary surface of the circuit board component. Such a configuration allows the circuit board component to receive a relatively large amount of power while maintaining the number of data signal contacts dedicated for transmission of data signals between the circuit board and circuit board component.
