Advanced Substrates are printed circuit board materials with superior thermal properties, which enable the use of ball grid arrays, flip chips and multichip module laminates, for products requiring high-frequency transmission.

After Sales Support involves the continuous interaction with the OEM and/or end customer throughout the product life cycle to the end of life, including warranty and repair services.

Annular Rings are the conductive copper rings around the holes in a printed circuit board from which traces interconnect components.

Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASIC) are integrated circuits
created for a specific customer’s application, in contrast to general-purpose integrated circuits in which many different customers use the same chip.

Approved Vendor List (AVL) usually supplied by an OEM customer’s
engineers specifying which vendors’ parts can be purchased for a particular requirement in their design. Also known as Approved Manufacturer’s List (AML).

Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) is an automated visual inspection of PCBs, LCDs, transistors, etc. In PCB-inspection, a camera autonomously scans the device for variety of surface feature defects such as stains and scratches, short circuits, open circuits, missing components, incorrect components, and incorrectly placed components.
