Fine Line Design
Printed circuit design permitting two, and nowadays even three, traces between adjacent dip Pins. It entails the use of photo-imageable solder mask (PISM).
Fillet
The concave formation of soldified solder between the land or pad and the component lead.
Fiducial
A mark both in the artwork and etched with the circuit traces of the PCB. It is used to identify artwork orientation on the board. Global fiducials locate the overall pattern; local fiducials pi...
FICS
Flashscan Image Control Software: A DOS Program which sends Gerber files to the plotter.
Fibre Exposure
A condition in which broken reinforcing fibres of the base material are exposed and protrude in machined or ab...
Feed-through
A plated through-hole in a printed circuit board that is used to provide electrical connection between a trac...
Eyelet
A hollow tube inserted in a terminal or printed board to provide mechanical support for component leads or ele...
Extraneous Copper
Unwanted copper remaining on the base material after chemical processing.
Exotherm
The characteristic curve of a resin during cure showing reaction of temperature vs. time.
Etching
Removal of metal from the surface of PCB by chemical dissolution. The process is normally carried out selectively&n...
Etched Printed Board
A board having a conductive pattern formed by the chemical removal of unwanted portions of the conductive foi...
Etch-back
The controlled removal of all resins of base material on the side wall of holes in order to expose intern...
Etchant
A solution used to remove, by chemical reaction, the unwanted portion of material from a printed board.
ETCH Resist
An organic ink, lacquer, photo-resist, self-adhesive plastic tape, metal deposit or other material which will prevent sp...
Etch Factor
The ratio of the depth of etch (conductor thickness) to the amount of lateral etch (undercut).
ESD
Electro-Static-Discharge, the sudden transfer or discharge of electricity from one object to another.
ESD Sensitivity
(ESD susceptibility) The device’s ability to dissipate the energy of the discharge or withstand the current levels...
