IT 318: M12 PWB Manufacturing IT 318 - M11
PWB: Functions Mechanically fix components in place (solder primarily) Electrically connect components (solder, again; and PWB lands) Electrically separate individual signals, voltages (dielectric) Remove heat and spread it out Provide testability IT 318 - M11
