(Adj). A condition of the base material to which a relatively thin layer or sheet of metal foil has been bonded at one or both of its sides, e.g. a metal clad base material.
A relatively thin layer or sheet of metal foil which is bonded to a laminate core to form the base material for printed circuits.
A crack in the plating extending around the entire circumference of a plated through-hole.
Generic term for volume tester of PCBs, such as bed-of-nails, footprint, guided probe, internal trace, loaded board, bare board and parts testing.
In this technology integrated circuits are glued and wire-bonded directly to printed circuit boards instead of first being packaged.
The chemical process for cleaning conductive surfaces exposed within a hole ( see also “ Etch-back ”).
A protective coating produced by the chemical reaction of a metal with a chemical solution.
Pen plots that are suitable for checking only. Pads are represented as circles and thick traces as rectangular outlines instead of filled-in artwork. This technique is used to enhance the transparency...
The ratio of voltage to current in a propagating wave, i.e., the impedance which is offered to this wave at any point of the line. The characteristic impedance is expressed in ohms.
A chemical that speeds or changes the cure of a resin but does not become a part of the final product. Examples: hardeners, promoters, inhibitors.
Special sheet adhesive material used for bonding polyimide multi-layer boards and flexi-rigids ( similar to prepreg = B-Stages ).
A phenomenon of force adhesion and cohesion that prompts liquids ( molten solder) to flow against gravity between closely spaced solid surface, such as component leads and pads.
The electrical interaction between two conductors caused by the capacitance between them.
Computer-aided design is the use of special software tools to formulate printed circuit patterns. Computer-aided manufacturing translates such designs into actual products.
Computer-aided design that permits the interactive use of computers, programs and procedures in the design process. Decisions are made by the operator while the computer provides the data manipu...
