Circuit and connector element alignment, circuit board assemblies

A first assembly comprising:

• a first circuit board including first connector elements disposed on a first edge of the first circuit board and second connector elements disposed on a second edge of the first circuit board, the first edge disposed opposite the second edge on the first circuit board;
• first circuitry affixed to the first circuit board;
• second circuitry affixed to the first circuit board;
• wherein the first edge of the first circuit board aligns with a first axial end of the first circuitry and the second edge of the first circuit board aligns with a second axial end of the first circuitry;
• wherein a combination of the first edge of the first circuit board, the first axial end of the first circuitry, and a first axial end of the second circuitry reside in a first plane;
• and
• wherein a combination of the second edge of the first circuit board, the second axial end of the first circuitry, and a second axial end of the second circuitry reside in a second plane.

A method of fabricating a first assembly, the method comprising:

• receiving a first circuit board including a first sequence of first connector elements disposed on a first edge of the first circuit board and a second sequence of second connector elements disposed on a second edge of the first circuit board, the first edge disposed opposite the second edge on the first circuit board;
• affixing first circuitry to the first circuit board, wherein a first axial end of the first circuitry is fixedly aligned with respect to the first connector elements on the first circuit board and a second axial end of the first circuitry is fixedly aligned with respect to the second connector elements on the first circuit board;
• affixing second circuitry to the first circuit board;
• wherein the first edge of the first circuit board aligns with a first axial end of the first circuitry and a second edge of the first circuit board aligns with a second axial end of the first circuitry;
• wherein a combination of the first edge of the first circuit board, the first axial end of the first circuitry, and a first axial end of the second circuitry reside in a first plane;
• and
• wherein a combination of the second edge of the first circuit board, the second axial end of the first circuitry, and a second axial end of the second circuitry reside in a second plane.
