Abstract

A first printed circuit board has a contact area, and a second printed circuit board has a contact area. An electrically conductive band is to couple the contact area of the first printed circuit board to the contact area of the second printed circuit board. The conductive band may be selected from the group consisting essentially of a band formed from solder, a band coupled by a weld, a band coupled by a wire bond, a band comprising conductive adhesive, a band comprising conductive film, a band comprising conductive tape, and a band comprising conductive rope. The conductive band may couple the first printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board in a substantially coplanar position.
