HOLD CIRCUIT [12 records]

Record 1 2023-02-07

English

Subject field(s)
  • Facilities and Equipment (Metal Joining)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
CONT

The secret is to heat the material, not the solder. Do not hold the soldering gun tip on the joint too long. You do not want the soldering gun tip to overheat the printed circuit board, or the copper strip will lift up from the board.

Record 2 2022-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
  • Electronic Circuits Technology
CONT

A printed circuit board needs structure and shape. It also needs a platform or canvas to hold all of its other components. This is the job of the substrate. The characteristics of the substrate will affect how the PCB [printed circuit board] performs. For example, a rigid substrate may add strength and durability to the PCB. A flexible substrate allows for more design options.

OBS

substrate: designation officially approved by the Electronics and Telecommunications Terminology Committee (CUTEL).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Circuits imprimés et micro-électronique
  • Technologie des circuits électroniques
DEF

Matériau destiné à recevoir l'impression d'un circuit ou les divers composants de ce circuit.

OBS

substrat : désignation uniformisée par le Comité d'uniformisation des termes de l'électronique et des télécommunications (CUTEL).

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Circuitos impresos y microelectrónica

Record 4 2003-08-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Refrigerating Machines and Appliances
  • Air Conditioning and Heating
DEF

A manufactured device containing a desiccant, placed in the refrigerant circuit. Its primary purpose is to collect and hold within the desiccant all excessive water in the system which can be tolerated in the circulating refrigerant.

Key term(s)
  • filter-drier

French

Domaine(s)
  • Machines frigorifiques
  • Conditionnement de l'air et chauffage
CONT

Dans un circuit frigorifique [...] l'installation dans le conduit de liquide (généralement à la sortie immédiate du receiver) d'un déshydrateur-filtre, susceptible [...] non seulement de fixer l'eau mais de capter également toutes les matières solides en suspension dans le fluide, est absolument impérative.

OBS

Dessiccateur : La déshydratation étant une action ou processus de déshydrater, de priver d'eau, il ne serait pas correct de la confondre avec le terme dessiccation qui désigne, lui, l'action de dessécher (dessiccation de l'air comprimé, par exemple).

  • Electronic Circuits Technology
DEF

A resistor connected across the output of a device or circuit to hold the output equal to or less than the zero input level of the following digital device.

OBS

It also serves or is used to lower the output impedance of a device. It also refers to a resistor connected to a negative or to ground.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Conducteurs et résistances

Record 6 2001-11-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Operating Systems (Software)
  • Printed Circuits and Microelectronics
DEF

A device that senses and stores the instantaneous value of an analog signal.

DEF

A circuit used to increase the interval during which a sampled signal is available, by maintaining an output equal to the input for a specified period.

Key term(s)
  • sampler
  • sample and hold device
  • sample and hold circuit
  • sample-and-hold amplifier

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes d'exploitation (Logiciels)
  • Circuits imprimés et micro-électronique
CONT

Dans un système industriel réel, le CAD sera normalement relié aux signaux analogiques externes par l'intermédiaire d'un multiplexeur et d'un ou plusieurs échantillonneurs-bloqueurs (sample-and-hold circuits), dont le rôle sera de «geler» l'information destinée au CAD.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)

Record 7 2000-05-25

English

Subject field(s)
  • Electrical Relays
  • Gas and Oil Heating
DEF

A relay in the self-checking circuit of some flame safeguard controls which makes and breaks periodically("checking" or "pecking" action) when the flame signal is strong enough. While checking, it transfers energy to hold in the flame relay. It stops "checking" if the flame signal becomes too weak or disappears.

Record 10 1985-02-04

English

Subject field(s)
  • Systems Analysis (Information Processing)
OBS

When the outgoing blanking is received at its counterpart circuit card in the other receiver-transmitter, it is translated into signals to control transmit-receive gate-generator outputs to inhibit RF transmission, keep search circuitry in a hold condition, and keep the blanking and self-test circuitry from responding erroneously.

OBS

self-test: The ability of a device, such as a printer, to run through its entire instruction set and to test the internal circuitry to be sure it is working properly before proceeding with a specific task.
