A "multi-board assembly" typically refers to a process in electronics manufacturing where multiple printed circuit boards (PCBs) are assembled together to form a complete system or product. This approach is often used in complex electronic devices that require various functionalities, such as computing, connectivity, and control systems, which cannot be easily integrated onto a single PCB.
—the practice of designing, manufacturing, and integrating multiple interconnected PCBs into a single, cohesive system—is the industry standard for managing this complexity.
