PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD WITH AN EDGE STIFFENER STRUCTURE

Abstract:

A printed circuit board (PCB) is enhanced with an edge stiffener structure. The edge stiffener structure may be fastened to the PCB in a variety of ways, including using solder, adhesive, or removably attaching with snaps. Removably attached edge stiffening structures may be reused. Edge stiffener structures can overlap on one or both surfaces of a PCB. Some edge stiffener structures include extensions that fit into C-clamps and D-clamps.
