2-33 REPAIR PROCEDURES
2-34 Etched Circuits
2-35The etched circuit boards in the Spectrum
Display are of the plated-through type, consisting
of metallic conductors bonded to both sides of the
insulating material. The metallic conductors are
extended through the component mounting holes
by a plating process. Solder connection can be
made from either side of the board with equally
good results. Following are recommendations and
precautions pertinent to etched circuit repair
work
:
a.
Avoid unnecessary component substitution;
it can result in damage to the circuit board and/or
adjacent components.
