Abstract
A circuit board assembly and method of fabricating an assembly are provided. The assembly preferably comprises a first circuit board defining an aperture and a second circuit board having an edge. The first circuit board has at least one conductive feature proximate the aperture, and the second circuit board has at least one conductive feature proximate the edge. Each board has at least one circuit trace in electrical communication with its respective conductive feature. The conductive features of the boards are placed in electrical communication with each other by way of the edge of the second board being disposed in the aperture of the first board. A solder joint can be disposed on the assembly so as to connect the first and second boards.
