A multi-storage deck connector apparatus having at least an upper and lower storage deck is connectable to a printed circuit board. Each deck has its own set of contact pins that must make electrical connection to the printed circuit board. A vertical connector is arranged between the storage decks so that the upper storage deck contact pins are connected to the vertical connector and the vertical connector is connected to the printed circuit board. The lower storage deck contact pins are connected directly to the printed circuit board.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.]1. A multi-storage deck connector apparatus for electronic cards comprising:at least upper and lower frames coupled together in a stacked arrangement, each frame having opposing side rails spaced at an interval substantially equal to the width of an electronic card, each frame defining a respective storage deck of said connector apparatus;a first array of contact pins disposed in said upper storage space and adapted to removably mate with an upper one of the electronic cards;a second array of contact pins disposed in said lower storage space and adapted to removably mate with an upper one of the electronic cards;a first circuit board to which one of said upper and lower arrays of contact pins is directly electrically connected;a second circuit board to which the other array of contact pins is directly electrically connected; anda vertical connector mechanically coupled between the first circuit board and the second circuit board and adapted to electrically connect the first circuit board to the second circuit board, whereby one of said arrays of contact pins is directly electrically connected to the first circuit board and the other array of contact pins is indirectly electrically connected to the first circuit board via the second circuit board and the vertical connector.
