ABSTRACT:
An adjustable-width, dual-connector card module. The module includes an adjustable-width printed circuit board (PCB) assembly including first and second PCBs, each having a respective end connector. A flexible connector is coupled to each of the PCBs to enable electrical signals to pass therebetween. An adjustable width stiffening mechanisms is employed to maintain the end connectors in a common plane, while enabling the distance between the PCBs to be adjusted. In one embodiment, the end connectors are edge connectors that are designed to mate with corresponding Advance Mezzanine Card (AMC) connectors, and the module is configured to have a form factor corresponding to either a full-height or half-height double-width AMC module. In one embodiment, one or more AMC modules of these configurations are installed in an Advanced Telecom Computing Architecture (ATCA) carrier board, which in turn is installed in an ATCA chassis.
