Abstract

A card connector mounting apparatus includes a base including a card coupler and having a plurality of electrical coupling members positioned on a bottom surface of the base, a first base side positioned along the length of the base, and a first board mounting member extending from the first base side and positioned adjacent the bottom surface. A board may be provided which includes a board surface having a connector coupling section defined by a plurality of electrical connector couplers positioned on the board surface, a first section side positioned along the length of the connector coupling section, and a plurality of spaced apart first connector mounting members positioned adjacent the first section side and outside the connector coupling section. A plurality of different sized card connectors may then be mounted to the board by coupling their first board mounting members to the first connector mounting member.
