Claims18
1-48. (canceled)
A device holder subassembly, comprising:
- a device holder substrate;
- a plurality of device holder terminals on the device holder substrate, each for contacting a respective contact on a respective electronic device;
- a plurality of device holder signal contacts secured to the device holder substrate, each device holder signal contact having a surface for releasably mating with a respective surface of a respective signal connector terminal;
- a plurality of device holder signal conductors connecting the device holder signal contacts to device holder terminals connected to signal contacts on the electronic devices;
- a power contact secured to the device holder substrate, the power connector having a contact surface for releasably mating with a respective surface of a respective power connector terminal;
- and
- at least one device holder power conductor connecting the device holder board power contact to a power contacts on one of the electronic devices, wherein the device holder contacts are for mating the connector terminals, the connector terminals including first and second sets of connector terminals, the second set of connector terminals being spaced from the first set of connector terminals in a direction that the device holder engages with the connector body.
