1. A communication system comprising:

  • a first circuit card assembly having a first printed circuit board (PCB) and a first electrical connector, the first electrical connector having a first housing, the first PCB including a first slot extending rearward from a first mating edge of the first PCB, the first electrical connector being mounted to the first PCB along the first slot, the first electrical connector having a first mating end, the first electrical connector having first contacts held by the first housing and being provided at the first mating end, the first contacts being terminated to the first PCB; and

    a second circuit card assembly having a second PCB and a second electrical connector, the second electrical connector having a second housing extending from the second PCB, the second PCB having a second mating edge, the second electrical connector being mounted to the second PCB proximate to the mating edge, the second electrical connector having a second mating end, the second electrical connector having second contacts held by the second housing and being provided at the second mating end, the second contacts being terminated to the second PCB;

    wherein the first and second circuit card assemblies are mated along a board mating axis parallel to the first slot with the first PCB oriented perpendicular to the second PCB, the first and second mating ends of the first and second electrical connectors being oriented parallel to the board mating axis, the second mating edge of the second PCB being received in the first slot to align the second mating end of the second electrical connector with the first mating end of the first electrical connector for mating the second electrical connector with the first electrical connector.
