Printed circuit board composite and method for producing same

1. A method for producing a printed circuit board composite, the method comprising:

connecting a first printed circuit board, being a sensor carrier printed circuit board, in a form-fitting connection to a second printed circuit board, being a supporting printed circuit board, wherein each of the first and second printed circuit boards have a groove with a groove bottom formed therein, and the first and second printed circuit boards are connected to one another such that the groove bottoms of the grooves fit in and contact one another; and

providing the first printed circuit board with a component and connecting the first and second printed circuit boards to one another such that the second printed circuit board contacts the component and supports the component in position.

2. The method according to claim 1 , which comprises connecting the first and second printed circuit boards so as to be oriented with respect to one another with surface normals of the first and second printed circuit boards oriented perpendicular to one another.

3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the component is a sensor which, in an assembled state of the printed circuit board composite is supported in position by the second printed circuit board.

4. The method according to claim 1 , which comprises latching the first and second printed circuit boards with one another.

5. The method according to claim 1 , which comprises connecting at least the first printed circuit board to a third printed circuit board.

6. The method according to claim 5 , which comprises introducing at least one positioning formation of the first printed circuit board into a corresponding cutout formed in the third printed circuit board and soldering the first printed circuit board and the third printed circuit board to one another.

7. The method according to claim 5 , which comprises introducing at least one positioning formation of the first printed circuit board into a corresponding cutout formed in the third printed circuit board or soldering the first printed circuit board and the third printed circuit board to one another.

8. The method according to claim 1 , which comprises overmolding at least the first printed circuit board with a plastic at least in certain regions thereof.

9. A printed circuit board composite, comprising:

first, second, and third printed circuit boards connected to one another in a form-fitting connection;

a sensor mounted to said first printed circuit board;

wherein said first and second printed circuit boards are disposed to project orthogonally from said third printed circuit board, said sensor is mounted distally from said third printed circuit board, and said printed circuit boards and said sensor are arranged to form a sensor dome;

wherein said first and second printed circuit boards are connected to one another such that the second printed circuit board contacts the sensor and supports the sensor in position; and

wherein each of said first and second printed circuit boards have a groove with a groove bottom formed therein, and said first and second printed circuit boards are connected to one another such that said groove bottoms of said grooves fit in and contact one another.

10. The printed circuit board composite according to claim 9 , wherein said at least two printed circuit boards are three interconnected printed circuit boards.

11. A method for producing a printed circuit board composite, the method comprising;

connecting a first printed circuit board in a form-fitting connection with a second printed circuit board such that the second printed circuit board supports the first printed circuit board in position; wherein each of said first and second printed circuit boards have a groove with a groove bottom formed therein, and said first and second printed circuit boards are connected to one another such that said groove bottoms of said grooves fit in and contact one another and

commonly connecting said first and second printed circuit boards to a third printed circuit board in a form-fitting connection.

12. The method according to claim 11 , which comprises providing the first printed circuit board with a component and connecting the first and second printed circuit boards to one another such that the component is supported in position by the second printed circuit board.

13. The method according to claim 11 , wherein the first printed circuit board is a sensor carrier printed circuit board and the second printed circuit board is a supporting printed circuit board.
