Abstract
A structural connector system for providing an electrical connection between electronic componentry is disclosed. The structural connector system includes a structural member, including an electrically insulating matrix, an electrically conducting path, a first end surface, a second end surface, and a first component engaging surface. The first component engaging surface includes a first mechanical coupler configured to mechanically couple a first electronic component or a first chassis component to the structural member and a first electrical coupler configured to electrically couple the first electronic component or the first chassis component to a first end of the electrically conducting path. The structural member further includes a second component engaging surface that includes a second mechanical coupler and a second electrical coupler configured to electrically couple the first electronic component, the first chassis component, the second electronic component, or the second chassis component to a second end of the electrically conducting path.
