A Versa Module Europa (VME) adapter assembly (100) is configured to operatively couple a subsystem to a five row VME64x chassis. The VME adapter assembly (100) includes an adapter circuit board (102) having a mating contact area (140) proximate to a chassis-mating edge (104), and at least one area proximate to a system-connecting edge (106) that is configured to couple to the subsystem. A mating plug housing (126) is coupled to the mating contact area (140) and may include a chassis interface insert (130) defining a mating interface area having five aligned rows (136) of contact apertures (138). The five aligned rows (136) of contact apertures (138) are configured to mate with a same number of aligned rows of contact pins within a backplane connector of the five row VME64x chassis.
