Is it something different than a hybrid? -----Original Message----- From: Dr. Warren Smith [SMTP:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Thursday, August 27, 1998 7:42 PM To: [log in to unmask] 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!
