Abstract
An advanced PCI Express board assembly is intended for efficiently placing more electronic components or modules having a large height (up to 8.57 mm) in comparison with traditional PCI Express add-in boards. This assembly comprises two PCBs connected together. The first one has the minimum possible sizes. This PCB includes a PCI Express male edge connector and is intended to be plugged in to motherboard female PCI Express connector. The second PCB is parallel to first one and is located in the middle of the space (slot) defined for one add-in PCI Express board. This position makes possible to place high electronic components or modules on the both sides (top and bottom) of the second PCB.
