A mezzanine connector assembly includes connectors engageable to a mating connector assembly such as a motherboard. It includes a circuit card having a surface on which a connector is mounted as well as a mezzanine card having a surface on which another connector is mounted. A mounting member is attached for connection between the cards in order to establish relative positions of the card surfaces. The distance between the card surfaces is set at least in part by the distance between end portions of the mounting member. The distance between the card surfaces is independent of the thickness of the cards so that a variation of the thickness of the cards will not result in a variation of the distance between the card surfaces.

[ What is claimed:] [9.] A spacer for connecting spaced card portions of a circuit card assembly to establish relative positions between a card surface of one card portion on which a connector is mounted and a card surface of another card portion on which another connector is mounted, said spacer comprising:a body portion comprising an end portion positionable adjacent to one of said card surfaces and an opposite end portion positionable adjacent to the other one of said card surfaces; anda support portion connected adjacent to one of said end portions of said body portion and extending at an angle to said body portion, said support portion having a support surface positionable for engagement adjacent to one of said card surfaces along the plane of said card surface;wherein the distance between said support surface of said support portion and an opposite end portion of said body portion is set to establish a desired distance between said card surfaces independent of the thickness of said card portions, wherein a variation of said thickness of said card portions will not result in a variation of the distance between said card surfaces.
