ABSTRACT:
A midplane has plated through holes (PTHs) which form a first profile and a second profile. The first profile has (i) an overlapping portion which overlaps at least part of the second profile and (ii) a non-overlapping portion which does not overlap any part of the second profile. A first connector mounts to a first side of the midplane over the first profile, and a second connector mounts to a second side of the midplane over the second profile. At least one PTH is a shared PTH which resides in both the first and second profiles and which engages a pin of the first connector and a pin of the second connector. Additionally, at least one PTH is a non-shared PTH which resides in the non-overlapping portion of the first profile and which engages a pin of the first connector without engaging any pins of the second connector.
