Abstract
The invention relates to a module unit for memory modules and to a method for producing the module unit. A module unit of this type has at least one main module and submodules. The modules are arranged in a star-shaped manner and are arranged radially with their inner contact strips in slots of a central plug connector. The module unit has a substantially cylindrical housing, from which an outer contact strip of the main module protrudes.
Claims18
A module unit, comprising:
- a plurality of memory modules including at least one main module and a plurality of submodules;
- and
- a central inner plug connector formed with radially aligned slots;
- said main module having opposing sides, an external outer contact strip, and an inner contact strip;
- said inner contact strip being configured in one of said radially aligned slots of said central inner plug connector;
- said plurality of said submodules being aligned in a star-shaped, radially aligned manner around said central inner plug connector;
- and
- each one of said plurality of said submodules having an end with a contact strip configured in a respective one of said radially aligned slots of said central inner plug connector.

A method for producing a module unit, the method which comprises:
- producing a central plug connector having a circumference with slots distributed therein for contact strips of memory modules;
- providing at least one main module having an edge with an outer contact strip and an opposing edge with an inner contact strip;
- inserting the inner contact strip into one of the slots of the central plug connector so that the main module protrudes radially from the central plug connector;
- inserting components, selected from the group consisting of submodules and submodule units, into respective ones of the slots of the central plug connector;
- aligning the main module and the components in a star-shaped and radial manner;
- and
- packaging the main module, the components, and the central plug connector in a housing so that the outer contact strip of the main module protrudes from the housing.
