In configuring these printed circuit board panels, the printed circuit board's electrically conductive patterns are symmetrically arranged about a center-line of the panel so that identical printed circuit board patterns are in the same location if the printed circuit board panel is rotated through a 180° angle about the center-line of this symmetry. This symmetry in the printed circuit board panel reduces by one-half the costs of tooling required to fabricate the printed circuit board and also allows components to be placed on both surfaces of the printed circuit board with a single set-up of an automated assembly line. | |
