Abstract
A first printed circuit board has a contact area, and a second printed circuit board has a contact area. An electrically conductive band is to couple the contact area of the first printed circuit board to the contact area of the second printed circuit board. The conductive band may be selected from the group consisting essentially of a band formed from solder, a band coupled by a weld, a band coupled by a wire bond, a band comprising conductive film, and a band comprising conductive rope. The conductive band may couple the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board in a substantially coplanar position.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- a first printed circuit board having a contact area;
- a second printed circuit board having a contact area;
- and
- an electrically conductive band to couple the contact area of the first printed circuit board to the contact area of the second printed circuit board, wherein the conductive band couples the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board in a substantially coplanar position.
A method comprising:
- positioning a first printed circuit board and a second printed circuit board in a substantially coplanar position;
- and
- coupling a contact area of the first printed circuit board to a contact area of the second printed circuit board with a conductive band.
An apparatus comprising:
- a first printed circuit board having a contact area;
- a second printed circuit board having a contact area;
- and
- an electrically conductive band to couple the contact area of the first printed circuit board to the contact area of the second printed circuit board, wherein the conductive band is selected from the group consisting essentially of a band coupled by a cold formed weld and a band coupled by a pin point spot weld.
A method comprising:
- positioning a first printed circuit board relative to a second printed circuit board;
- and
- coupling a contact area of the first printed circuit board to a contact area of the second printed circuit board with a conductive band selected from the group consisting essentially of a band coupled by a cold formed weld and a band coupled by a pin point spot weld.
