Bus

A heavy trace or conductive metal strip on the printed circuit board used to distribute voltage, grounds, etc., to smaller branch trances.

Bus

Bus Bar

A conduit, such as a conductor on a printed board, for distributing electrical energy.

Bus Bar

Burn-in

  A method of testing devices via electrical stress vs temperature and/or time so that units prone to failure are eliminated.

Burn-in

Buried Via

  A via that does not reach a surface layer on either side of a multi-layer board. The via transcends only inner layers of the board.

Buried Via

Bulge

  A swelling of a printed board that is usually caused by internal de-lamination or separation of fibres.
