Abstract
A circuit board configuration and method of packaging electronic component embedded into the circuit board in a manner that supports the electronic component thermally, electrically, and mechanically thereof, comprising a circuit board having a first surface and a circuit trace on the first surface; a recess or slot formed on the first surface defined by at least one sidewall that is oblique to the first surface of the circuit board; two or more plated surfaces on the at least one oblique sidewall and electrically connected to the circuit trace; and an electronic component having two or more electrical contact surfaces mounted to the two or more plated surfaces such that the electronic component is physically mounted to the oblique sidewall and in electrical communication with the circuit trace. The circuit board configuration may further comprise an encapsulant at least one end of the electronic component and a conductive material between the oblique sidewall and the electronic component to seal the electronic component inside the slot.
