According to an example embodiment of the invention, a configurable printed circuit board (PCB) includes one or more separable portions for supporting modules for interfacing with the PCB. The separable portions extend from an edge portion of a main body of the PCB, and are disposed between the main body of the PCB and a protective portion. A scored portion is provided at a boundary between the main body of the PCB and the separable portions, the separable portions being separable by being broken off from the main body of the PCB at the scored portion. According to an example embodiment of the invention, a method of configuring a PCB having one or more separable portions of the PCB includes securing the PCB and separating the one or more separable portions of the PCB from another portion of the PCB.
A printed circuit board comprising one or more separable portions of the printed circuit board.
A method of configuring a printed circuit board having one or more separable portions of the printed circuit board, comprising:
A printed circuit board comprising a main body of the printed circuit board, another body portion of the printed circuit board, and a scored portion at a boundary between the main body and the other body portion.
