Abstract

An interconnection system, both electrical and thermal, allowing improved evacuation of the thermal dissipation of printed-circuit boards. It comprises zero insertion force electrical and thermal connectors such as (67) and (69) of the plug-in type, which are applied by their metallic bases to one of the metallic layers of the mother boards (60) and (61), and other connectors of the same type, such as (68) and (70), which are applied by their bases to the other external layer of these mother boards (60) and (61). The mother boards are inclined, sloping downwards from the front panel or door (63) to the rear part (64) of a cabinet. Application: racks and cabinets for electrical and telecommunication equipment.
