Definition of Printed Wiring Board Terms


I went ahead and divided up one of the last pages of PWB Terms that was just too long. The new page covers PCB Terms from 'Gr' to 'O'. While the original page now covers terms 'A' to 'Ge' [listed first].
So the section also covers PWB Definitions 'P' to 'R', and 'S' terms starting with Secondary Side, and 'T' to 'Z' terms starting with Tented Via. There is also a side page that covers PWB Classifications, which has received almost no page views.
All the pages are now pointing to the new page addition, but the new page still needs a little work with the side bar which is a bit to long. From the counter stats it appears I started this 6 page section on PWB definitions on July 25th, and have slowing been adding new terms and PCB pics. However; there appears to be many days the section either receives no visits or just a few page views.

I should be adding another page maybe tonight covering High speed vias. Maybe I should write it before I pick a name.

Capacitor Networks

I added a new page the other day on Capacitor Networks, or capacitor arrays and forgot to blog about it. The new page is linked off the Capacitor Dictionary, or Capacitor Array Definition.

The page shows three different Single In-Line Packages, two capacitor networks and one capacitor array, with standard capacitor values. A related page holds the definition of Capacitor Network.

Which for some reason does not have a page rank, not sure why. Looks like this section has 15 different pages of capacitor terms.

Comment; Ya know there is a bad side to capacitor arrays in a single package, like a SIP. Normally you want the capacitor placed as close to some component as possible. Placement becomes a bit hard once all the individual devices are placed or hard-wired within the same component. You can get one capacitor near the area you want it but the others are wired as they reside in the SIP package.

Resistor Networks


Just added a new page to cover 6-pin LCC Resistor Networks. Yet another page showing a schematic and package style of a resistor network. Currently the page is linked off the 16-pin LCC Resistor Network page.
The new page is a Dual-row LCC package, while the current page is a Quad LCC package. However there is a page that covers a Dual-row 16-pin DLCC Resistor Network, but with no new link yet.
The Resistor Dictionary page the covers the term; Resistor Network Definition.

Looks like the page doing the worst is 8-pin SIP Resistor Network (non-standard connections). With a few page views and no page rank.
I may be able to add the link for the new page to the other related pages in this section.

Panel Mount Resistors


Looks like the small section relating to Resistor Definitions contains about 15 pages now. Really a few more pages, but using different page addresses so I don't see them in my Analytics filter just now. The newest page is linked off the definition of Panel Mount Resistor, as Panel Mount Adjustment Resistors.

The thing I just noticed from the page view data is that the last new page added a few weeks ago on
Resistor Encapsulation has received no page views; added off the page, Damping Resistor.

So what I did was add a short definition of a panel mount resistor, and then added more data and some graphics on a new page; the difference between a paper dictionary and an HTML based dictionary of terms.

I did want to mention that among all the other pages relating to resistors, a number of pages were added that cover Resistor Networks, but they were added under a different section. So there are more than 15 pages in this section, I'm just not counting them here.

SEO hint; it took 7 months before this section received more than 100 page views in a month [from March 1 2008].
