A board-to-board connector assembly includes first and second connector assemblies and a connector interconnect between the first and second connector assemblies. Each connector assembly includes an outer shell and a connector received in a cavity of the outer shell. The connector has a connector body holding contacts in a card slot, which receives a circuit card edge of an add-in card. The outer shell has an outer board guide configured to engage the add-in card and guide mating of the outer shell with the add-in card. The outer shell has a latch configured to latchably engage the add-in card to secure the connector to the add-in card. The connector interposer electrically interconnects the contacts of the connector assemblies to electrically connect the add-in cards.

A method for producing a connecting device for connecting films with conductor tracks includes the steps of laying a first film with conductor tracks onto a forming die, applying a first lower shell of a plastic material onto a first end portion of the forming die, producing a cut-out and shifting the first film so that the cut-out lies completely on the first lower shell, applying upper conductor tracks of a conductive material onto the first lower shell so that the upper conductor tracks overlap with the conductor tracks of the first film, and applying a first upper shell of a plastic material onto the first lower shell so that the first film, the first lower shell and the first upper shell connect together by substance bonding to form a first connector. In this way, an integral connector can be provided on each film.
