Term | Definition |
---|---|
Conductive Pattern | The configuration or design of the conductive material on a base material. Includes traces, lands, vias, planes and passive components. |
Conductor | A substance that allows the flow of elective current or thermal energy. Typically wires, traces, lands, planes, or plated holes. |
Conductor base spacing | The spacing between conductor at the plane of the surface of a base material |
Plane | large area or layers of copper foil connected to the circuit's ground point. Serves as return path for current from components. |
Base Material | Determines the PCB performance and scope of application EX: FR4, Poly |
Button Plating | A process of plating only in holes and on pads |
Clearance Hole | A hole in a conductive pattern that is larger than, and coaxial with a hole in the base material of a printed board. |
annular ring | portion of conductive material completely surrounding a hole. |
array | a group of elements or circuits arranged in rows and columns on a base material |
aspect ratio | the ratio of the length or depth of a hole to its preplated diameter |
bareboard | an unassembled (unpopulated) printed board |
Bare copper | copper without any additional surface finish or treatment |
base material | the insulating material upon which a conductive pattern may be formed |
Backdrill | a secondary controlled depth drilling operation performed after plating whereby plating is removed from the unused conductive portion of a plated through-hole |
blind via | a via extending only to one surface of a printed board |
buried via | a via that does not extend to the surface of a printed board |
burr | small lumps or masses with an irregular shape |
cap lamination | a process for making multilayer printed board using one-sided metal clad base material for external layers |
