  • Patent number: 8995113
    Abstract: In a method and a system for connecting a plurality of printed circuit boards (1) to at least one frame or carrier element (5), the following elements are provided: a plurality of printed circuit boards (1), which are designed to have at least one coupling element (4) on at least one edge (2, 3), at least one frame or carrier element (5) for coupling to a plurality of printed circuit boards (1) using coupling elements (6) that in each case complement at least one coupling element (4) of the printed circuit boards (1), wherein the printed circuit boards (1) can be coupled to the at least one frame or carrier element (5) by fitting the coupling elements (4, 6) of the printed circuit boards (1) and of the frame or carrier element (5), and wherein the at least one frame or carrier element (5) only surrounds or encloses the printed circuit boards (1) over a partial region of the circumference.

  • Patent number: 8863375
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for connecting a plurality of elements for a circuit board, comprising the following steps: providing the elements of a circuit board to be connected to each other, the elements having contours adapted to each other; arranging the elements to be connected to each other in close proximity in at least one of two peripheral areas that have complementary contours, while maintaining a distance between opposing peripheral areas; and mechanically connecting the opposing peripheral areas by means of at least one sub-area thereof in order to connect the elements of the circuit board to be connected to each other. Furthermore, a circuit board produced from a plurality of elements connected to each other is provided.
