        Subject:        [TN] Imbedded components

        I have found this newsgroup in a search of the internet, but I am
not sure
        how to join it. Can someone send me some information about how to
join?

        On a more technical front, I am currently translating from Japanese
into
        English some materials on the PWB industry. There is a term that has
come up
        several times that translates, literally, into "compound component"
or
        "composite component," referring, apparently, to a chip that
contains, for
        example, 4 passive elements with 8 pins. There are also references
to
        building these components into the boards themselves through a thick
film or
        thin film process.

        Can someone a) tell me the correct term by which to refer to these
        components, and b) refer me to a web page that describes these in
more
        detail?

        Because I am not yet a member of this mailing list or news group,
please
        respond to me directly at [log in to unmask]

        Thank you!

        Warren Smith
