  • PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD DIRECT CONNECTION AND METHOD OF FORMING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20090197435
    Abstract: A system for directly connecting multiple printed circuit boards (PCB) circuits without the need for peripheral connectors. Multiple PCBs are electrically and mechanically interfaced with one or more plated holes or tabs on at least one first PCB and one or more plated tabs or holes on at least one second PCB. The plated tab(s)/hole(s) from said second PCB mate with the corresponding plated tab(s)/hole(s) from said first PCB to form a mechanical and electrical interconnect.
