Abstract

A method of making a printed circuit board in which at least three substrates are aligned and bonded together (e.g., using lamination). Two of the substrates have openings formed therein, with each opening including a cover member located therein. During lamination, the cover members for a seal and prevent dielectric material (e.g., resin) liquefied during the lamination from contacting the conductive layers on the opposed surfaces of the inner (first) substrate. A PCB is thus formed with either a projecting edge portion or a plurality of cavities therein such that electrical connection may be made to the PCB using an edge connector or the like.
