Abstract
An apparatus includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a first flexible conductive cable (“flex cable”) secured to the PCB. The apparatus also includes a daughter card having an end adjacent to the PCB and a second flex cable secured to the daughter card. The apparatus further includes a connector which provides an electrically conductive connection between the first flex cable and the second flex cable. The connector is positioned to sandwich a portion of the first flex cable between the connector and the PCB.
