Abstract
A printed circuit board (PCB) defines a first outer surface and a second outer surface that is opposite the first outer surface. The first outer surface of the PCB defines a recess. The PCB includes a signal layer between the first outer surface and the second surface with a first portion exposed within the recess and a second portion exposed within the recess. A component is disposed within the recess and connected to the first portion and the second portion of the signal layer such that an entirety of the component is within the recess and below the first surface.
