Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a printed circuit board assembly that may include a circuit board having a first surface and an opposing second surface. The printed circuit board assembly may also include a first interconnect barrel disposed in the circuit board. The first interconnect barrel may have a first length extending between the first surface and the second surface. The first interconnect barrel may include a first section, and may further include a second section spaced apart from the first section by a first gap having a first depth extending partially through the first length. The printed circuit board assembly may further include a first conductive trace coupled to the first section and a second conductive trace coupled to the second section at a first terminal.
