Abstract
Abstract A multi-layer panel employing a resistor-terminator module in the form of a single-in-line package located adjacent conventional dual-in-line packages, with interconnections to be made by means of wire wrapping. The resistors in the single-in-line package have one common lead electrically connected to a conductive layer in the panel. Conductive layer surface areas are maximized for improved signal transmission characteristics.
