ABSTRACT:
A composite circuit card architecture conforms with a prescribed form factor for installation in a card slot and connection to a backplane of a multiple circuit card-supporting housing. Only a portion of the card is comprised of printed wiring board material, while the remainder, where no printed circuit components are installed, is a support substrate formed of a material other than that of said printed wiring board. Also, a front panel portion is formed of the material other than that of the printed wiring board, such as plastic integrally molded with the support substrate, thereby significantly reducing the cost associated with the conventional approach of making the entire card from printed circuit board material. At one communication link, such as a ribbon cable, may be coupled between the printed wiring board and at least one input/output port at the front panel.
