ABSTRACT:
A mezzanine connector is used to connect two circuit boards. A connector frame includes a first frame member secured to the first circuit board and a second frame member secured to the second circuit board. The first and second frame members are brought together and mechanically connected to one another. A wafer carrier movably disposed between the first and second frame members holds a plurality of wafers at a substantially fixed spacing and parallel alignment. Each wafer has a plurality of electrically conductive pathways. After mechanically coupling the two frame members, the wafer carrier is movable toward the second circuit board from an open circuit position to a closed circuit position to provide electronic communication between the first and second circuit boards.
