ABSTRACT:
A modular bus interconnect system suitable for ganging together modules where the electronic signals are bussed to respective contacts on each module. The modules may be releasably or permanently attached to each other. The modules each have a slot for receiving and electrical contacts for making electrical connections to the contact fingers of an edge board connector. Each of the module's electrical contacts has a cantilever portion for making electrical connections to the connector fingers, and, in addition to the cantilever portion, each module has at least two exposed electrical contact portions that are formed on the outside of the housing. When the modules are ganged together these exposed portions are arranged to make electrical connections with each other thereby distributing the signals among all ganged modules. Each of the electrical contacts within the modules is arranged with portions that are fixed to the housing to mechanically isolate the cantilever and external electrical connection portions from each other. In this way the making and/or breaking of any electrical connections to the various electrical contacts portions of an electrical contact do not affect the other portions of the electrical contact.
