  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MOUNTING PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD COMPONENTS
    Publication number: 20020001161
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for mounting heat generating components on a printed circuit board. Components mounted on the printed circuit board that generate heat may alter the properties of the printed circuit board and allow the printed circuit board to conduct current. To stop the flow of current in the printed circuit board, a slot may be used between the mounting points of the component. The slot prevents current from flowing within the printed circuit board.
