1. A multilayer printed circuit board comprising:

  • at least two layers each having an array of linear parallel conductor tracks;

    at least one layer having a conductor area forming a ground plane, said ground plane layer being disposed between said two conductor track layers;

    a plurality of terminal arrays extending generally transversely to the longitudinal axes of said conductor tracks, said terminal arrays being spaced apart in the direction of the linear axes of said conductor tracks;

    electrically conductive means extending through the multiple layers of the printed circuit board for each terminal of each array, whereby each individual terminal of each array is electrically connected to a corresponding individual terminal of all other arrays, and all the terminals of each array are individually electrically connected to corresponding ones of the linear conductor tracks;

    each conductor track layer further having a plurality of arrays of linear parallel conductive shielding tracks, each shielding track being arranged between two adjacent conductor tracks and between two adjacent arrays of said terminals such that the opposite ends of each shielding track terminate adjacent terminal areas of said conductor tracks associated with respective ones of two adjacent terminal arrays; and

    electrically conductive means for connecting each of the shielding tracks of said two adjacent conductor track layers in common to the intermediate ground plane, said electrically conductive means extending between the respective layers of the circuit board in the regions of the two opposite ends of the shielding tracks.
