Abstract

A circuit board pad mounting orientation system includes a board. A signal transmission line is included on the board. A plurality of connector pads are positioned on the board. At least one connector pad receives the signal transmission line adjacent a first end of that connector pad. At least one connector pad includes a second end that provides a reduction in a width of that connector pad to indicate a mounting orientation for coupling to the connector pad that receives the signal transmission line. In a specific example, a first connector pad receives the signal transmission line, includes the first end, and includes the second end that is opposite the first connector pad from the first end and that provides the reduction in the width of the first connector pad to indicate the mounting orientation for coupling to the first connector pad.
