Abstract
Examples of printed circuit boards (PCBs) with board configuration blocks and board edge projections are described. In one example, a PCB includes a core material and a metal layer comprising a plurality of metal traces on the core material. The plurality of metal traces can include component interconnect traces and a board configuration block. The board configuration block can include a plan diagram for the PCB, an operational diagram for the PCB, or a combination of plan and operational diagrams. In other examples, a PCB can include a core material having a peripheral edge. The peripheral edge can include one or more board edge scheme projections positioned within projection edge regions of the peripheral edge. The scheme projections have a projection shape based on operational characteristics for the PCB. In some cases, the board configuration blocks can be located on the board edge scheme projections.
