The invention relates to a method for connecting a plurality of elements for a circuit board, comprising the following steps: providing the elements of a circuit board to be connected to each other, the elements having contours adapted to each other; arranging the elements to be connected to each other in close proximity in at least one of two peripheral areas that have complementary contours, while maintaining a distance between opposing peripheral areas; and mechanically connecting the opposing peripheral areas by means of at least one sub-area thereof in order to connect the elements of the circuit board to be connected to each other. Furthermore, a circuit board produced from a plurality of elements connected to each other is provided.
