electronic boards or subassemblies Explanation: Although 'plaque' is perhaps not the commonest term used for it, I can't ee what else it can be, other than a (circuit) board — only thing that makes any sense to me. I suspect this was written by someone who was not themselves an electronics specialist. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 heures (2017-06-29 17:43:46 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think 'plaque' is rather old-fashioned usage nowadays, I mainly come across it in older texts. I think it dates from when PCBs were referred to a 'circuit boards' in EN too, and more recently, espeically with modular computer technology, they are increasingly called 'cards' and hence 'cartes' in FR. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 heures (2017-06-29 17:46:14 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I see 'plaque' is also used for the base material ('board') used for making PCBs — though I doubt this is the meaning intended here, since the desire to avoid water is probably more relevant to PCBs that are already populated, rather than just the raw material. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 jour3 heures (2017-06-30 14:25:33 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Just the first 3 examples of this rather dubious usage, drawn from the Linguée bi-lingual alignment resource (always to be taken with a pinch of salt!) But these examples do seem valid: Finalement, la plaque électronique élimine les pièces électromécaniques, réduisant le temps de réparation au minimum. master.ca Finally, the electronic circuit board eliminates electromechanical parts, reducing repair time to a minimum. master.ca De même, le nombre d'heures totales de travail et le type de plaque électronique installée seront aussi affichés. dosificadoresgf.com Likewise, the total number of work hours and the type of electronic board installed are viewed. dosificadoresgf.com Si cela ne se produit pas, remplacer la plaque électronique. master.ca If it does not happen, then replace the circuit board. master.ca |
