Abstract:
An improved circuit board apparatus configured for mounting electronic components in a circuit arrangement; the apparatus comprising:(a) a metal substrate having a first side and a second side;(b) a first-side laminar structure including at least one first-side conductive stratum alternated with at least one first-side dielectric stratum affixed at said first side;(c) a second-side laminar structure including at least one second-side conductive stratum alternated with at least one second-side dielectric stratum affixed at said second side; and(d) a plurality of electrically conductive interside courses intermediate selected first-side strata of said at least one first-side conductive stratum and selected second-side strata of said at least one second-side conductive stratum;said first-side laminar structure having a first most distal stratum from said metal substrate and said second-side laminar structure having a second most distal stratum from said metal substrate; said first most distal stratum and said second most distal stratum each being a conductive stratum; at least one of said plurality of electrically conductive interside courses clampingly engaging said first most distal stratum and said second most distal stratum to electrically connect said first most distal stratum with said second most distal stratum.
