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. 2-5
