Tinning

The application of molten solder to a basis metal in order to increase its solderability.

Tinning

Through Connection

An electrical connection between conductive patterns on opposite sides of an insulating base, e.g. plated through-hole or clinched jumber wire.

Through Connection

Thermoset

A plastic cured or hardened by heating into a permanent shape. Thermosets cannot be re-melted.

Thermoset

Thermoplastic

A plastic set into final shape by forcing the melted polymer into a cooled mould. The hardened form can be re-melted several times.

Thermoplastic

Thermocouple

A device made of two dissimilar metals which, when heated, generate a voltage that is used to measure temperatures.

Thermocouple

Test Point

Special points of access to an electrical circuit, used for testing purposes.

Test Point

Test Pattern

A pattern used for inspection or testing purposes.

Test Pattern

Test Fixture

A device that adapts a specific assembly under test system via inter-connection.

Test Fixture

Test Coupon

A pattern as an integral part of the PCB on which electrical tests may be made to non-destructively evaluate process control. A portion of a circuit used exclusively to functionally test the circuit a...

Test Coupon

Test Board

A printed board suitable for determining acceptability of the board or of a batch of boards produced with the same process so as to be representative of the production board.

Test Board

Terpenes

(Turpentine)A solvent used in cleaning electrical assemblies.

Terpenes

Termination

 The part of component that makes contact with a pad on a substrate.

Termination

Terminal Area

A portion of a conductive pattern usually, but not exclusively, used for the connection and/or attachment of components.

Terminal Area

Tenting

A printed board fabrication method of covering over plated through-holes and the surrounding conductive pattern with a resist, usually dry film.

Tenting

Tented Via

A via with solder mask completely covering both its pad and its plated through-hole. This completely insulates the via from foreign objects, thus protecting against accidental shorts, but it also rend...

Tented Via

Temperature Profile

 The depiction of the temperature that a selected point traverses as it passes through the re-flow process.

Temperature Profile

Teflon

Du Pont trade name as an inventor for PTFE(Polytetrafluoroethylene).

Teflon

Taped Components

Components attached to continuous tape for automatic assembly.

Taped Components

Tape-and-reel

A packaging method of housing surface-mount parts in  their own tape cavities in a long continuous strip. The cavities are covered so that the tape can be wound around a reel for convenient handl...

Tape-and-reel

Swaged Lead

A component lead wire that extends through a hole in a printed board and its lead extension is flattened(swaged)to secure the component to the board during  manufacturing operations.
