ABSTRACT:
During the manufacture of a printed circuit board, holes are drilled not only in accordance with a particular circuit board pattern, but also along the lines which will define edges of the board at the positions where traces are to appear. All of the holes are then plated through. The holes along the edges of the board are completely filled with solder. The board is then cut along the previously defined edge lines to cut the solder filled holes in half. This creates a trace and a solder reservoir along the edge of the board.
