passive components. Finally, terminal pins and links should be fitted before
making the track breaks. On completion, the board should be carefully
checked, paying particular attention to all polarized components (e.g.
diodes, transistors and electrolytic capacitors). Figure 10.1 shows a typical
stripboard layout together with matching component overlay.
Printed circuits
Printed circuit boards (PCB) comprise copper tracks bonded to an epoxy
glass or synthetic resin bounded paper (SRBP) board. The result is a neat
and professional looking circuit which is ideal for prototype as well as
production quantities. Printed circuit ...
