Abstract
A PCB module includes a first rigid PCB having a first edge connector, a second rigid PCB having a second edge connector, and a connecting mechanism. The connecting mechanism includes a flexible connecting board, an elastic member, and a fixing member. The flexible connecting has a number of connecting circuit traces isolated from each other. The flexible connecting board is bent in such a manner that a first end portion is in contact with the first edge connector, and a second end portion is in contact with the second edge connector. Thus, the first edge connector is electrically connected with the second edge connector by the traces. The elastic member is compressed between the end portions of the flexible connecting board. The fixing member is configured to fix the first rigid PCB to the second rigid PCB and compress the elastic member.
