Elma Bustronic used creative engineering to solve a major problem in developing the VXS Extender Board - the lack of a right angle receptacle for VXS in the marketplace. So, the company produced a rigid-flex-rigid PCB design to get around the problem. The solution entails a right angle pin connector that plugs into the backplane, connected to a flex circuit that wires to the straight receptacle to receive the plug-in board.
