Title: Electrical contacts on the sidewall of a circuit board

Abstract

Printed circuit board (PCB), electrical structures including PCBs, and methods for making the same. One PCB structures includes: a substrate having a plurality of surfaces, including a first aerial main face (AMF), a second AMF, and a first peripheral end face (PEF), wherein the first PEF separates the first AMF from the second AMF, and a first plurality of contacts embedded in the first PEF, where each of the first plurality of contacts forms a contiguous contact with the first PEF and at least one of i) the second AMF, ii) the first AMF, and iii) another one of the plurality of surfaces.
