SMOBC

Solder Mask Over Bare Copper.

SMOBC

Smear

Resin, smeared over the edge of an internal copper layer of a multi-layer board during drilling, which prevents the layer from making electrical contact with the barrel of the hole.

Smear

SMD

Surface Mounted Device. Any component or hardware element designed to be mounted to a printed circuit board (PCB) without penetrating the board.

SMD

Slump

A spreading of the solder paste after printing but before re-flow soldering. If excessive, a loss of definition may result.

Slump

Single-image Production Master

A production master used in the process of making a single printed board.

Single-image Production Master

Shingle-sided Board

A printed board with a conductive pattern on one side only.

Shingle-sided Board

Shadowing

A condition occurring during etching in which the dielectric material, in intimate contact with the foil, is incompletely removed though acceptable etching may have been achieved elsewhere. In re-flow...

Semi-aqueous Cleaning

A technique involving the use of a solvent followed by hot-water rinses and drying.

Semi-aqueous Cleaning

Semi-additive process

A process for obtaining conductive patterns by a combination of electroless metal deposition with etching and/or electroplating. A semi-additive process is used in conjunction with a metal clad base m...

Screen

A network of metal or fabric standards mounted tautly on a frame and upon which the PCB’s circuit pattern is superimposed by photographic means.

Screen

Screen Printing

A process for transferring an image to a surface by forcing suitable media through a stencil screen with a squeegee. Also called silk screening.

Screen Printing
