Abstract
A disclosed expansion socket may include a primary slot and a secondary slot, each mounted to a receiver printed circuit board and electrically coupled to a central processing unit via a computing bus. The primary slot may be dimensioned to receive a primary pinout disposed within a primary portion of an edge connector disposed on a connecting edge of a presenter printed circuit board. Likewise, the secondary slot may be positioned and dimensioned to receive a secondary pinout, disposed within a secondary portion of the edge connector, when the primary slot receives the primary portion of the edge connector. Furthermore, the primary pinout and the secondary pinout may each conform to a compact pinout specification that is more compact than a pinout specification defined for the computing bus. Various other systems and methods are also disclosed.
