Abstract
An apparatus for adjoining along a mating axis a first and second circuit board to directly mate a first integrated connector of the first board with a second integrated connector of the second board is disclosed. The apparatus comprises an attachment plate to be supported in a substantially horizontal plane; a plurality of extension arms extending downward from the plate to suspendingly restrain the first board away from the plate; at least one stop configured to be secured to the distal end of one of the plurality of extension arms to support the first board in suspension away from the plate; and a plurality of attachment elements to secure the plate to the second circuit board without applying substantial forces to the first circuit board.
