Electronics module assembly
First Claim
1. An electronic module assembly to be received and retained within a chassis having a plurality of slots, each said slot having a height dimension, said electronics module assembly comprising:
- a host module configured to be detachably received and retained in one of said slots of said chassis, said host module having a height corresponding with said height dimension of said slots of said chassis; and
at least one sub-module configured to be detachably received and retained by said host module, said sub-module having a height less than said height dimension of said slot of said chassis, wherein more than one sub-module with said host module may be utilized in a single said slot of said chassis.

Abstract
An electronics module assembly for detachably retaining a pair of electronic sub-modules in a single slot of a chassis. A host module of the electronics module assembly is configured to be detachably received and retained in a slot of the chassis. The host module has a height corresponding with a height of the slot of the chassis. A pair of sub-modules are configured to be detachably received and retained in the host module. The combined height of the sub-modules is no greater than the height dimension of the slot of the chassis. Therefore, where there was once only room for one electronics module in a single slot of the chassis, a pair of sub-modules with the host module may now be utilized in the single slot of the chassis.
