Flux
A substance used to promote or facilitate fusion, such as a material used to remove oxides from surfaces to be joined by soldering welding.
Flush Conductor
A conductor whose outer surface is in the same plane as the surface of the insulating material adjacent to the conductor.
Fluorocarbon
An organic compound having fluorine atoms in its structure to lend chemical and thermal stability to plastics.
Flow Soldering
Also called wave soldering. A method of soldering printed circuit boards by moving them over a flowing wave of molten solder in a solder bath.
Flood Bar
A device on a screen printer that drags solder paste back to the starting point after the squeegee has made a stroke. The return is for set-up of the next stroke as it does no printing on the backstro...
Flexure Failure
A conductor failure due to repeated flexing which is indicated by an increase of resistance to a specified value for a specified time.
Flexible Printed Wiring
A random arrangement of printed wiring utilizing flexible base material with or without flexible cover layers.
Flat Cable
A cable with two or more parallel, round or flat, conductors in the same plane encapsulated by an insulating material.
Fixture
A device that enables interfacing a printed circuit board with a spring-contact probe test pattern.
First Pass Yield
The per centage of finished assemblies to pass all tests without re-work.
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...
