Abstract:
1. A method for making a printed wiring board (PWB) assembly comprising: forming a first PWB comprising a plurality of first electrically conductive pads; forming a second PWB comprising a plurality of internal electrically conductive traces having exposed ends on an edge surface of the second PWB, each internal electrically conductive trace having a width increasing as each internal electrically conductive trace approaches the edge surface; covering the edge surface of the second PWB with an electrically conductive layer; selectively removing portions of the electrically conductive layer to define a plurality of second electrically conductive pads electrically connected and having equivalent widths to corresponding ones of the exposed ends of the internal electrically conductive traces; and assembling the first and second PWBs together so that the first and second electrically conductive pads are electrically coupled together to define the PWB assembly.
