Abstract
A mid-plane board for orthogonally interconnecting a first set of circuit boards to a second set of circuit boards. The mid-plane board has a first group of pins which project outwardly equally on both sides of the board. It has second and third groups of pins which project outwardly only on one or the other side of the mid-plane board, respectively. The circuit boards have edge connectors and the pins of the first, second and third groups are associated with the edge connectors in a manner such that the circuit boards of the first set are orthogonal to those of the second set when they are connected to the pins. An assembly for the mid-plane board and the circuit boards is also disclosed.
