Provided is a method of forming a circuit board including (a) providing a
first conductive sheet; (b) selectively removing one or more portions of
the first conductive sheet to form a first panel having a first circuit
board that is coupled to a disposable part of the first panel by at least
one tab that extends from an edge of the first circuit board to an edge
of the disposable part of the first panel; (c) applying an insulating
coating to the first circuit board so that at least each edge of the
first circuit board is covered thereby; and (d) separating the first
circuit board from the disposable part in a manner whereupon at least
part of the tab remains attached to the first circuit board and includes
an exposed edge of the conductive sheet of the first circuit board.
Circuit boards formed by the method are also provided.
