ABSTRACT:
A multilayer panel board for mounting electronic components that have respectively different voltage requirements at specific leads of the components; in the board, conductive layers carry the different voltages across the board; terminals at locations across the board receive leads of the electronic components, some of these terminals being electrically connected directly to selected conductive layers at the locations to deliver corresponding voltages from the conductive layers to the specific leads; and the terminals are arranged in a pattern that permits at least one common region of the board to be occupied at a given time by any one of at least two different types of electronic components having respectively different voltage requirements, with the voltage requirements of the electronic component at the specific leads being served directly from the conductive layers via the terminals, whereby the common region need not be committed in advance to serve only one type of electronic component. In another aspect, a multilayer panel board has rows and columns of electrical socket terminals for receiving component pins; at least some of the rows are spaced apart from the next adjacent row by a spacing that is the same as the spacing between the parallel rows of pins of one type of component, and at least some of the columns are spaced apart from the next adjacent column by a spacing that is the same as the spacing between the parallel rows of pins of another type of component. In another aspect, at least one exposed conductive layer includes an electrically isolated region that can be dedicated to a voltage different from the remainder of the conductive layer.
