• Drill Hit

• Annular Ring

• Solder Jumper

• Solder Ring

Small balls of solder suspended in a gel medium which, with the aid of a paste stencil, are applied to the surface mount pads on a PCB before the components are placed.

• Solder paste 

• Soldermask

• Solder pot

• Solder Jumper

Exposed metal pads along the edge of a board, used to create a connection between two circuit boards.

• DRC

• Finger

• Mouse bites

What do we mean by DRC?

• Design Ruler Checker

• Designer Rule Check

• Design Rule Checker

• Deisgn Rule Check

Places on a design where a hole should be drilled.

• Marked spot

• Mouse bites

• Panel

Process by which components are placed on a circuit board.

• Pick a place

• Pick place

• Pick and place

• Pick and paste

A thin, metal stencil which lies over the board, allowing solder paste to be deposited in specific areas during assembly.

• Soldermask

• Solder paste

• Paste Stencil

• Stencilmask

A larger circuit board composed of many smaller boards which will be broken apart before use. Automated circuit board handling equipment frequently has trouble with smaller boards, and by aggregating several boards together at once, the process can be sped up significantly.
