Abstract

A printed circuit board having a selectable circuit routing configuration comprises a substrate, a plurality of electrical traces mounted to the substrate for interconnecting electrical components, and at least one fusible connector mounted to the substrate. Each of the fusible connectors has a fuse line formed from a conductive layer of the printed circuit board and forms a fusible connection between at least two of the electrical traces. The circuit routing configuration can be selected by application of a predetermined current through at least one of the fusible connectors to break the fusible connection formed by the fusible connector.
