ABSTRACT:
A connector apparatus having a reduced total packaging height despite the presence of mounting receptacle connectors on each the surfaces of a mount board is disclosed. The mount board is formed from a flexible printed circuit bonded to a support plate. The mount board is bent in a stepped or offset relation to an axis extending perpendicular to the surface of the board mount to provide a pair of opposed step sections, lower and upper. A receptacle connector is mounted to the upper and to the lower step section of the mount board; that is, to the side of the board mount having the flexible printed circuit board side and one to the side of the board mount having the support plate. The upper and lower receptacles extend in mutually opposed directions along the axis.
