Section of a typical Australian late 1930s radio, showing the point to point construction between components. In electronics, point-to-point construction is a non-automated technique for constructing circuits which was widely used before the use of printed circuit boards (PCBs) and automated assembly gradually became widespread following their introduction in the 1950s.
Printed circuit board (PCB) terminal blocks are specially designed with a copper alloy pin of suitable size and length, and can be inserted into printed circuit boards for soldering in place. Some designs provide features that allow the flow of molten solder to ensure a better connection between the circuit traces of the board and the ...
The large light-green areas on this printed circuit board are the ground plane. A ground plane on a printed circuit board (PCB) is a large area or layer of copper foil connected to the circuit's ground point, usually one terminal of the power supply. It serves as the return path for current from many different components.
From January 2010 to January 2012, if you bought shares in companies when Wendy J. Morse joined the board, and sold them when she left, you would have a 47.7 percent return on your investment, compared to a 12.7 percent return from the S&P 500.
