Abstract
A method of interconnecting a data access device to a main board for notebook computers without requiring a flexible printed circuit assembly and a connector module. The method involves interconnecting a simple circuit board between a connector interfacing the data access device and a connector interfacing the main board. The circuit board serves to convert the number of contacts of one of the two connectors to be in electrical and mechanical conformity with the number of pins of the other connector. The connector module employs the circuit board which is adapted to be directly interconnected between the first and second connectors.
