Slot-mounted printed circuit board having small insertion force
A printed circuit board (PCB) prevents damage to tabs of the PCB and pins of a slot by reducing insertion force when the PCB is inserted in the slot. The PCB includes a body portion including a first surface and a second surface and a metal interconnection layer formed on at least one of the first and second surfaces. The metal interconnecting layer includes tabs formed along a first edge of the body portion. An insertion force alleviation portion in which at least a portion of the body portion is removed is formed in the first edge to reduce the insertion force required to seat the PCB within the slot.
