Abstract
A method and apparatus for board-to-board circuit connection. In one example, a connector system includes a printed circuit board having a first set of electrical pads and at least one electrical component positioned between the first set of electrical pads and an adapter frame. The adapter frame includes a second set of electrical pads on a bottom surface and connected to the first set of electrical pads of the printed circuit board and a third set of electrical pads on a top surface and electrically connected to the second set of electrical pads. The adapter frame further includes a chamber configured to house the at least one electrical component and having electrical shielding that forms at least a partial Faraday cage around the at least one electrical component. A connector receptacle having a set of pins is connected to the third set of electrical pads.
