<p>The invention provides a printed circuit board assembly (10) comprising a printed circuit board (12), having a first major surface (14), a second major surface (16), and an edge surface (18); a first electronic component (22) mounted on the first major surface (14), a second electronic component (24) mounted on the second major surface (16), and a third electronic component (32) disposed atop the edge surface (18), wherein a first contact terminal (34) of the third electronic component (32) is surface mounted to a contact terminal (26) of the first electronic component (22), and a second contact terminal (34) of the third electronic component (32) is surface mounted to a contact terminal (26) of the second electronic component (24). In other words, a contact terminals (26) of the first and second electronic components (22, 24) mounted on the opposite sides (16, 18) of the printed circuit boards (12) serve as mounting pads for the third electronic component (32) which is mounted atop or across the edge surface (18) of the PCB (12) by the way of surface mount technology. The invention also provides a method for assembling a printed circuit board assembly having SMT type electronic components mounted over the PCB edge using surface mount technology.</p> |
