5 unusual facts about printed circuit board


HuCard

Most video game cartridges have a large plastic housing to protect the PCB while providing enough space inside for radiant heat and, less often, a button cell.

Ink jet material deposition

Printed circuit boards are typically produced using screen printing, which is not cost-effective for prototyping or small production runs.

Phase-change memory

Flash parts can be programmed before being soldered on to a board, or even purchased pre-programmed.

Printed circuit board

Predating the printed circuit invention, and similar in spirit, was John Sargrove's 1936–1947 Electronic Circuit Making Equipment (ECME) which sprayed metal onto a Bakelite plastic board.

Hameg

HAMEG maintained subsidiaries in Chemnitz (product development) and Münchenbernsdorf (PCB assembly) as well as a distribution subsidiary in France (HAMEG Instruments France S.a.r.l.).

Hercules PSU

A single design of PCB (printed circuit board) provides crystal oscillator regulated power for both 33⅓ rpm and 45 rpm operation, and is offered with a choice of enclosures and installation kits to suit different makes and models of turntable, such as the Linn Sondek LP12, as well as certain models from Rega, Thorens, and others.

John Coll

At Oundle he learnt to program the school's Data General Nova 3 computer alongside a number of pupils, built a Motorola 6800 based microcomputer from scratch, designing and etching the printed circuit boards personally and then purchased and built a kit SWTPC 6800-based computer which was made available to the pupils.
