Scope Notes
Glossary: Connector connectors Structure containing terminals for a removable connection. Simple "terminal" without a housing is not included. Direct connection Irremovable connection of terminals using solder, adhesive, welding, insulation displacement edge, a rivet, a screw, etc. Flexible printed circuit board A flexible substrate comprising conductive paths, flat flexible structures with electrically conductive properties like flat or ribbon cables. Printed circuit board printed circuit boards Either a rigid printed circuit board or a flexible printed circuit board. Printed wiring board synonym for printed circuit board Rigid printed circuit board A substrate comprising conductive paths and terminals for connection to other devices, the substrate being rigid with limited bending capability. Terminal terminals Means for electric connection. | Limiting references: Printed connections to, or between, printed circuits
