Vertically stacking circuit board connectors

An assembly of electrical components, comprising:

• a first printed circuit board is a rigid printed circuit board;
• a first electronic board-to-board connector mounted to the first printed circuit board;
• a second printed circuit board is a flexible printed circuit board;
• a second electronic board-to-board connector mounted to the second printed circuit board and connected to the first electronic board-to-board connector using a male-to-female connection mechanism;
• a first stacked connector mounted to the second printed circuit board;
• and
• a second stacked connector connected to the first stacked connector;
• wherein the first electronic board-to-board connector is configured to connect to the second electronic board-to-board connector through movement in a direction transverse to a major face of the first printed circuit board;
• the first stacked connector is configured to connect to the second stacked connector through movement in the direction transverse to the major face of the first printed circuit board;
• and
• wherein a biasing member biases by applying a biasing force in the direction transverse to the major face of the first printed circuit board:
• (i) the first electronic board-to-board connector together with the second electronic board-to-board connector, and
• (ii) the first stacked connector together with the second stacked connector.

• and
• a second stacked connector connected to the first stacked connector;
• wherein the second electronic board-to-board connector and the first stacked connector are mounted on a same side of the second printed circuit board;
• and
• wherein the second printed circuit board is folded back over itself so that the second electronic board-to-board connector and the first stacked connector are vertically placed over a same location on a major face of the first printed circuit board.
