What is an Electronic Components Assembly?

An Electronic Components Assembly is a grouping of two or more different types of electrical/electronic components mounted on a common mounting. It may include an assembly of electrical/electronic components mounted on multiple PRINTED WIRING BOARD(S) mounted back to back, stacked, and the like. The item is generally a component of a subassembly and cannot be assigned a more definite item name. Excludes items which may be identified as a subassembly. For an assembly of electrical/electronic components mounted on a single PRINTED WIRING BOARD, see CIRCUIT CARD ASSEEMBLY. Do not use if a more specific name applies.

What is an Electrical Patchboard?

An Electrical Patchboard (PATCHBOARD,ELECTRICAL) is a single, flat surfaced item in which are incorporated jacks, clips, sockets, and the like, and which provides a point for convenient interconnections by use of patch cords with plugs, or other means of connecting between electrical circuits which may be used for programming, toubleshooting, and testing. Do not use if a more applicable item name exists. Excludes PANEL, PATCHING, ANTENNA; PANEL, PATCHING, COMMUNICATION; and SWITCHBOARD, PATCHING, COMMUNICATION. See also PANEL, PATCHING, PROGRAMMING.

What is an Electrical Card Extractor?

An Electrical Card Extractor (EXTRACTOR,ELECTRICAL CARD) is a device specifically designed to remove CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY; or PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD from their installed position.

What is a Backplane Assembly?

A Backplane Assembly is an insulating panel upon which two or more CONNECTOR, RECEPTACLE, ELECTRICAL, are mounted, and completely processed electrical conductor paths are deposited, etched, or printed in various paths. It provides or completes a circuit between two or more CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY or ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS ASSEMBLY. It may be designed for panel or chassis mounting, or for insertion into a CONNECTOR, RECEPTACLE, ELECTRICAL. Includes motherboards. For items containing processed electrical conductor paths and contacts for plug-in connecting facilities, see PRINTED WIRING BOARD. See also PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD; CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY and CABLE ASSEMBLY, PRINTED, FLEXIBLE.

What is a Circuit Card Set?

A Circuit Card Set is a group of two or more circuit cards such as controller board, expander card and the like, not physically connected to each other. The item(s) may be used to expand memory, extend application, enhance the design or the like of a piece of equipment. For items designed to modify equipment, see also MODIFICATION KIT (as modified). For items physically connected together, see CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY.

What is a Printed Circuit Board?

A Printed Circuit Board is a PRINTED WIRING BOARD having only printed electronic components, such as capacitors, resistors, and the like. For items having a complete individual electrical/electronic function, use applicable item name, such as AMPLIFIER (as modified); POWER SUPPLY; or the like. For items not having a complete individual electrical/electronic function, see applicable "SUBASSEMBLY" name, such as AMPLIFIER SUBASSEMBLY; POWER SUPPLY SUBASSEMBLY; or the like. For items having separately manufactured components (other than plug-in connecting facilities) and not having a more specific item name, see CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY.

What is a Circuit Card Assembly?

A Circuit Card Assembly is a grouping of two or more physically connected or related electrical an/or electronic parts capable of dissassemblage. Each component of the assemblage must be capable of functioning in accordance with its own item name. Consists of a single PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD or TERMINAL BOARD upon which are mounted separately manufactured electronic components such as capacitors, inductors, resistors, and the like. It may also include printed electronic components. The item is generally part of a subassembly and cannot be assigned a more definite item name. For items having a complete individual electrical/electronic function, use applicable item name such as AMPLIFIER (as modified); POWER SUPPLY; or the like. For items not having a complete individual electrical/electronic function, see applicable subassembly name, such as AMPLIFIER SUBASSEMBLY; POWER SUPPLY SUBASSEMBLY; or the like. For an assembly of electrical/electronic components mounted on other than a single PRINTED WIRING BOARD, see ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS ASSEMBLY. Excludes PRINTED CIRCUIT BOAR

What is a Printed Wiring Board?

A Printed Wiring Board is an insulating panel upon which completely processed electrical conductor paths are deposited, etched, or printed in various patterns to provide or complete a circuit between two or more points. It may provide contacts for plug-in connecting facilities. It may be designed for panel or chassis mounting, or for insertion into a CONNECTOR, RECEPTACLE, ELECTRICAL. For items containing printed electronic components, see PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD. For items containing separately manufactured electronic components, see CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY. For items consisting only of electrical conductor paths and two or more connectors, see BACKPLANE ASSEMBLY.

What is an Electronic Test Extender Card?

An Electronic Test Extender Card (EXTENDER CARD,ELECTRONIC TEST) is an item consisting of a hand wired or printed wiring board, with or without a retaining plate, rails, brackets, or electrical connector(s) which is designed to provide access to a circuit card assembly or electronic components assembly for testing, test point checking and troubleshooting.
