Flexible circuit member for electrically coupling connectors with one another

摘要

An electrical connector assembly couples a circuit board with at least one of a motherboard and a backplane board. The connector assembly includes a connector and a flexible circuit member. The connector has a mating interface and a mounting interface. The mating interface electrically couples the connector with the circuit board. The mounting interface secures the connector to the motherboard. The flexible circuit member electrically interconnects the mating and mounting interfaces with one another and with at least one of the motherboard and the backplane board. The flexible circuit member electrically interconnects the circuit board with the backplane board via a conductive pathway that bypasses the motherboard.
