Abstract
A printed circuit board assembly which comprises a plurality of primary printed circuit boards, a plurality of card edge connectors, at least one secondary printed circuit board and means for predictable separation of the boards from each other. Each of the card edge connectors is fixedly mounted to a respective primary printed circuit board. The secondary printed circuit board is directly removably connected between two card edge connectors. The secondary printed circuit board has an aperture at an edge which is inserted into a card edge connector. The aperture is contacted by a spring element in the card edge connector providing the means for predictable separation of the boards from each other.
