Patent ID: 7766665

Claim:
A system for interconnecting printed circuit boards, said system comprising: a first printed circuit board comprised of printed circuit board material, said first printed circuit board having at least one first conductive pathway, said first printed circuit board having a top surface parallel to a bottom surface, said first printed circuit board having a hole defined therein, extending from said top surface to said bottom surface perpendicular to said top and bottom surfaces, said first conductive pathway electrically connecting an electrical node of a first electrical component to said hole, and a second printed circuit board comprised of printed circuit board material, said second printed circuit board having a top surface parallel to a bottom surface and an edge extending between said top surface and said bottom surface, said edge generally perpendicular to said top and bottom surfaces, said second printed circuit board comprising a tab of printed circuit board material extending from said edge, said tab sized to frictionally interfit into said hole, said second printed circuit board having at least one second conductive pathway, said second conductive pathway electrically connecting an electrical node of a second electrical component to said tab; wherein the second printed circuit board tab is inserted into said first printed circuit board hole, being frictionally held therein, thereby electrically connecting the node of said first electrical component to said node of said second electrical component.
