Abstract

A printed circuit board includes electrical circuit components electrically connected to a plurality of male connectors mounted on the board and extending outwardly of one edge for connecting the board into an electrical system. The printed circuit board is formed with a cutout adjacent a second edge to define a first board section bordering one side of the cutout and including the first edge mounting the male electrical connectors outwardly thereof, and a second board section bordering another side of the cutout and including the second edge facing outwardly of the board and another edge facing inwardly of the board. The inwardly-facing edge of the second board section includes a plurality of female connectors connected to the circuit components to permit mounting an electrical device to extend inwardly of the second board section into the cutout.
