  2. Printed circuit board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printed_circuit_board

    A printed circuit board (PCB), also called printed wiring board (PWB), is a laminated sandwich structure of conductive and insulating layers, each with a pattern of traces, planes and other features (similar to wires on a flat surface) etched from one or more sheet layers of copper laminated onto or between sheet layers of a non-conductive ...

  3. Polychlorinated biphenyl - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polychlorinated_biphenyl

    One of the largest deliberate PCB spills in American history occurred in the summer of 1978 when 31,000 gallons (117 m^3) of PCB-contaminated oil were illegally sprayed by the Ward PCB Transformer Company in 3-foot (0.91 m) swaths along the roadsides of some 240 miles (390 km) of North Carolina highway shoulders in 14 counties and at the Fort ...

  4. Motherboard - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motherboard

    Dell Precision T3600 System Motherboard, used in professional CAD Workstations. Manufactured in 2012. A motherboard (also called mainboard, main circuit board, MB, mobo, base board, system board, or, in Apple computers, logic board) is the main printed circuit board (PCB) in general-purpose computers and other expandable systems.

  5. Bioremediation of polychlorinated biphenyls - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioremediation_of...

    General structure of a PCB. Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are various biphenyl based artificial products that are widely used as a dielectric fluid, industrial coolant, and lubricants in the 1960s and 1970s. There is no evidence its synthesis occurs naturally. They are classified as persistent organic pollutants.

  6. Via (electronics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Via_(electronics)

    A via (Latin, 'path' or 'way') is an electrical connection between two or more metal layers of a printed circuit boards (PCB) or integrated circuit. Essentially a via is a small drilled hole that goes through two or more adjacent layers; the hole is plated with metal (often copper) that forms an electrical connection through the insulating layers.

  7. Stamped circuit board - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stamped_Circuit_Board

    the PCB (printed circuit board), plastic-injection molding and; the SCB. Using the SCB technology it is possible to structure and laminate the most widely differing material combinations in a reel-to-reel production process. [2] As the layers are structured separately, improved design concepts are able to be implemented.

  8. Eurocard (printed circuit board) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocard_(printed_circuit...

    Eurocard is an IEEE standard format for printed circuit board (PCB) cards that can be plugged together into a standard chassis which, in turn, can be mounted in a 19-inch rack. The chassis consists of a series of slotted card guides on the top and bottom, into which the cards are slid so they stand on end, like books on a shelf.

  9. In-circuit testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-circuit_testing

    A common form of in-circuit testing uses a bed-of-nails tester.This is a fixture that uses an array of spring-loaded pins known as "pogo pins". When a printed circuit board is aligned with and pressed down onto the bed-of-nails tester, the pins make electrical contact with locations on the circuit board, allowing them to be used as test points for in-circuit testing.
