Abstract

A printed circuit board comprises a substrate (1) of an electrically insulating material, a plurality of electrical current carrying paths (2) of electrically conductive material on the substrate and a plurality of integrally formed insulation displacement connectors (4) connected to the paths. The connectors may be edge connectors, or connectors within the periphery of the board or a combination of both. An edge connector is formed with a slot (5) which may be at an angle to the plane of the board. A connector within the periphery of the board comprises a larger diameter portion leading to a slot and means for pushing an insulated conductor inserted in the larger diameter portion into the slot. This arrangement results in fewer components to assemble, higher frequency performance, reduced cross-talk, space savings and lower costs.
