Abstract:
A printed circuit board (PCB) incorporates at least one damping layer or section. The at least one damping layer is incorporated in the PCB to absorb vibrations or oscillations that may be conveyed to the PCB. Such vibrations or oscillations may be generated by one or more electrical components coupled to the PCB. The damping layer is disposed to prevent the PCB from audibly vibrating when the electrical components associated with the PCB are caused to vibrate or pulsate under a voltage load.

Claim (Index 16):
A method, comprising:\n providing a first printed circuit board (PCB) layer; providing a vibration damping layer over at least a portion of a surface of the first PCB layer; providing a second PCB layer over the vibration damping layer and the first printed circuit board layer; and disposing an electrical component interface on a surface of the second PCB layer, the electrical component interface to electrically couple to an electrical component, the electrical component interface comprising a plurality of electrical contacts for receiving electrical terminals associated with an electrical component, wherein the vibration damping layer is disposed to absorb vibrations in one or more of the first and second PCB layers, the vibration damping layer disposed below the plurality of electrical contacts, the vibration damping layer having a damping layer portion that overlaps an electrical contact portion associated with a first electrical contact of the plurality of electrical contacts and an electrical contact portion associated with a second electrical contact of the plurality of electrical contacts.
