Abstract
This disclosure provides systems, methods, and apparatus related to printed circuit boards. In one aspect, a device includes a first board and a second board. The first board includes at least two pins defined at an end of the first board. The first pin and the second pin are positioned along a first line and parallel to the first line. The second board includes at least two slots defined at an end of the second board. The first slot and the second slot are positioned along a second line and are angled from the second line by about ±10° to 15° . Each of the pins in the first board is engaged with each of the slots in the second board and forms an electrical connection between the first pin and the first slot and the second pin and the second slot.

A device comprising:
- a first board, the first board including at least two pins defined at an end of the first board, the first pin and the second pin being positioned along a first line and parallel to the first line;
- and
- a second board, the second board including at least two slots defined at an end of the second board, the first slot and the second slot being positioned along a second line and being angled from the second line by about ±10° to 15°, the first slot having a positive or negative angle from the second line, the second slot having the other of the positive angle or the negative angle from the second line, each of the pins in the first board engaged with each of the slots in the second board and forming an electrical connection between the first pin and the first slot and the second pin and the second slot.
A device comprising:
- a first board, the first board including at least two pins defined at an end of the first board, the first pin and the second pin being positioned along a first line and parallel to the first line;
- and
- a second board, the second board including at least two slots defined at an end of the second board, the first slot and the second slot being positioned along a second line and being angled from the second line by about ±10° to 15°, the first slot having a positive or negative angle from the second line, the second slot having the same positive angle or the same negative angle from the second line, each of the pins in the first board engaged with each of the slots in the second board and forming an electrical connection between the first pin and the first slot and the second pin and the second slot.
