The high voltage criteria in this document are only applicable when specifically required
in the drawings/procurement documentation.
Solder Source Side - ANSWERSThe side of the PCB to which solder is applied.
Supplier - ANSWERSThe individual, organization or company which provides the
Manufacturer (assembler) components (electronic, electromechanical, mechanical,
printed boards, etc.) and/or materials (solder, flux, cleaning agents, etc.).
User - ANSWERSThe individual, organization, company, contractually designated
