ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the invention provides a compact navigation device assembly that is rugged, compact and does not require independent connector components to interconnect multiple circuit boards. According to one implementation of the compact navigation device assembly, an electrical or electromechanical circuit may be laid-out among a plurality of circuit boards that are electrically joined along their edges in a three-dimensional structure without the use of discrete connectors or components. Each circuit board may have one or more crenelated, serrated, and/or notched edge to electrically join the circuit board to other circuit boards. Such crenelated edges may be plated for electrical conductivity and may be joined to corresponding crenelated edges with solder or other electrically conductive materials.
