Abstract
A circuit board for an electronic device includes pattern areas on both sides of the circuit board. Each end of a thermistor is electrically connected to electrically conductive pads on pattern areas on the top and bottom sides of the circuit board. An input plug is electrically connected to an end of the thermistor. The input plug is electrically connected to the thermistor by way of an input connector to which the circuit board is inserted.
Claims20
A circuit board comprising:
- a first conductive pad on a top side of the circuit board;
- a second conductive pad on a bottom side of the circuit board;
