  • Reducing or eliminating board-to-board connectors
    Patent number: 9525222
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for creating a connection mechanism for a circuit board. The method includes securing a plurality of electrical conductors to a sleeve. Once the electrical conductors have been coupled to the sleeve, the sleeve and the plurality of conductors are coupled to, and molded with, the circuit board. At least one side of the circuit board, such as, for example, the molding over the plurality of electrical conductors, is subsequently reduced to expose at least a portion of at least one of the plurality of electrical conductors. An electrical connector is then coupled to the at least the portion of the one or more of the plurality of electrical conductors that was exposed when the first side of the printed circuit board was reduced.
