Abstract
According to one embodiment, an electrical interconnection system includes a pair of printed wiring boards formed of a printed wiring board material. Each printed wiring board has multiple surface pads formed on a surface of the printed wiring board adjacent its outer edge. The surface of each printed wiring board is operable to be placed adjacent to one another such that an electrical circuit coupled to one printed wiring board is electrically coupled to another electrical circuit of the other printed wiring board by contact of the surface pads of each printed wiring board with one another.
Claims21
An electrical interconnection system comprising:
- a pair of printed wiring boards that are each formed of a fiber reinforced resin material, the surface of one printed wiring board being formed on a tab of the printed wiring board and the surface of the other printed wiring board is formed in a slot of the other printed wiring board, each printed wiring board comprising:
- a plurality of surface pads being formed of a layer of copper;
- and
- a surface adjacent an outer edge of the printed wiring board on which the plurality of surface pads are configured, the surface of the printed wiring board operable to be placed adjacent to the surface of the other printed wiring board such that the electrical circuit coupled to the printed wiring board is electrically coupled to the electrical circuit of the other printed wiring board by contact of the plurality of surface pads of the printed wiring board with the plurality of surface pads of the other printed wiring board, the pair of printed wiring boards operable to be held together using one or more fasteners.
An electrical interconnection system comprising:
- a pair of printed wiring boards that are each formed of a printed wiring board material, each printed wiring board comprising:
- a plurality of surface pads;
- and
- a surface adjacent an outer edge of the printed wiring board, the surface of the printed wiring board operable to be placed adjacent to the surface of the other printed wiring board such that an electrical circuit coupled to the printed wiring board is electrically coupled to another electrical circuit coupled to the other printed wiring board by contact of the plurality of surface pads of the printed wiring board with the plurality of surface pads of the other printed wiring board.
An electrical interconnection method comprising:
- providing a pair of printed wiring boards that are each formed of a printed wiring board material, each printed wiring board comprising a plurality of surface pads configured on a surface adjacent an outer edge of the printed wiring board;
- and
- placing the surface of the printed wiring board adjacent to the surface of the other printed wiring board such that the electrical circuit coupled to the printed wiring board is electrically coupled to the electrical circuit of the other printed wiring board by contact of the plurality of surface pads of the printed wiring board with the plurality of surface pads of the other printed wiring board.
