PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD AND A METHOD FOR IMBEDDING A BATTERY IN A PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD
A printed circuit board (100) and a method (302,304,306,308) for imbedding a battery (106) in the printed circuit board are disclosed. The method includes connecting (302) the battery to a first inner pad (116) and a second inner pad (118) on an inner core layer (104) and forming a first battery contact (122) between a first outer pad (108) and the first inner pad (116). The method also includes electrically isolating (306) the first battery contact (122) and forming a second battery contact (124) between a second outer pad (110) and the second inner pad (118).
