1. A method of forming traces on a peripheral side edge of a printed circuit board comprising:

  • providing a printed circuit board having at least one connector pattern defined thereon;

    forming a plurality of trace bores about a periphery of said connector pattern;

    plating through all holes on said printed circuit board;

    after said step of plating, masking all holes on said printed board except said trace bores;

    after said step of masking, filling said trace bores with solder; and

    cutting said printed circuit board along a line defined by said trace bores so as to expose at least a portion of the solder in said trace bores, thereby defining a printed circuit board having a plurality of distinct traces along peripheral side edge thereof.
