  • Wave SolderingA process in which assembled printed boards are brought in contact with a continuously flowing and circulating mass of solder, typically in a bath to connect the leads of components to through hole pads and barrels, is called wave soldering.
  • Wet solder maskA wet solder mask is a distribution of wet epoxy ink through a silk screen, has a resolution suitable for single-track design, but is not accurate enough for fine-line design.
  • WickingMigration of copper salts into the glass fibers of the insulating material found in the barrel of a plated hole.
  • WireBesides its usual definition of a strand of conductor, wire on a printed board also means a route or track.
  • Wire wrap areaA portion of a board riddled with plated-through holes on a 100-mil grid. Its purpose is for accepting circuits which may be found necessary after a PCB has been manufactured, stuffed, tested and debugged.

PCB Design Tips

When designing a PCB, try to limit the amount of draws you use. Draws use a lot of memory and slow the programming time. Use a flash for pads instead.
