- Wave SolderingA process in which assembled printed boards are brought in contact with a continuously flowing and circulating mass of solder, typically in a bath to connect the leads of components to through hole pads and barrels, is called wave soldering.
- Wet solder maskA wet solder mask is a distribution of wet epoxy ink through a silk screen, has a resolution suitable for single-track design, but is not accurate enough for fine-line design.
- WickingMigration of copper salts into the glass fibers of the insulating material found in the barrel of a plated hole.
- WireBesides its usual definition of a strand of conductor, wire on a printed board also means a route or track.
- Wire wrap areaA portion of a board riddled with plated-through holes on a 100-mil grid. Its purpose is for accepting circuits which may be found necessary after a PCB has been manufactured, stuffed, tested and debugged.
PCB Design Tips
When designing a PCB, try to limit
the amount of draws you use.
Draws use a lot of memory and slows the programming time. Ex.: Use a flash for pads instead of draws. If for some reason we need to increase or decrease that pad size, it can easily be done by changing the D-code but if they are done with draws it could be a nightmare.
