ABSTRACT:
An electronic assembly of two planar electronic devices for insertion into a shelf for back plane connection. Each device may be a printed circuit board or a circuit pack incorporating such a board. A flexible flat cable extends between front ends of the devices to interconnect their circuitry. This cable is torsionally flexible to allow relative pivoting movement of the electronic devices in their respective planes. The cable is also bendably flexible to allow movement towards each other or apart of the rears of the electronic devices. A movement limiting device restricts the degree of relative movement of the electronic devices. The relative movement overcomes tolerance issues between terminal positions of one device relative to the other during connection into the back plane and damage to terminals and connectors is avoided.
