Mechanical Devices

Mechanical components attach to the circuit board. They include circuit board connectors, switches and relays and are used in many circuit boards. Main applications include precision equipment and industrial machinery and devices, such as computers, and most are made of plastic. Components come in different sizes and must be mounted to appropriate locations. Mechanical components are always used with a circuit board. The circuit board is a component onto which electronic components are mounted while also providing electrical connection. Circuit boards are essential to installing mechanical components. Circuit boards are usually found inside machinery. The machinery must be opened when removing and attaching mechanical components from and to the circuit board.  ▲ Close
