Abstract
The present invention belongs to the field of reduced-dimension computers of the ARINC 600 computer type of small and medium dimensions. The advantage of the invention is that it allows optimization of use of the volume of the computers. The surface area for accommodating electronic components on one board is greatly increased and the heat control is made easier and better.
Claims15
A computer comprising:
- a mechanical, metallic or composite structure, having a backplane printed circuit situated inside the mechanical structure and having a connector designed for the connection of at least one circuit board also present in the computer, wherein said connector comprises means for ensuring the connection of the circuit board on a connection plane parallel to the backplane printed circuit of the computer, said connection plane being parallel to the direction of insertion of said circuit board, and said connector being oriented towards the outside of the computer relative to the backplane printed circuit and said circuit board has an appropriate connector technology allowing it to be connected to the connector of the backplane printed circuit on the connection plane, the latter being orthogonal to the said circuit board in the inserted position.
