REPAIRING DELAMINATED CONDUCTORS.—DELAMINATED CONDUCTORS (figure 3-26) are classified as conductors no longer bonded to the board surface. Separation of the laminations mayoccur only on a part of the conductor. Proper epoxying techniques ensure complete bonding of theconductor to the circuit board laminate. The following procedures are used to obtain a proper bond:Figure 3-26.—Delaminated conductors.1. A small amount of epoxy is mixed <strong>and</strong> applied to the conductor <strong>and</strong> the conductor path; no areasare left uncoated.2. The conductor is clamped firmly against the board surface until the epoxy has completely cured.REPLACING EYELETS.—Eyelets have been referred to in several places in this topic. Not onlyare they used for through-the-board terminations, but also to reinforce some types of board repairs. Aswith any kind of material, eyelets are subject to damage. Eyelets may break, they may be installedimproperly, or they may be missing from the equipment. When an eyelet is missing or damaged,regardless of the kind of damage, it should be replaced. The guidelines for the selection <strong>and</strong> installation ofnew eyelets are far too complex to explain here. However, they do comprise a large part of the 2Mtechnician's training.Repair of Cracked BoardsWhen boards are cracked, the length <strong>and</strong> depth of the cracks must be determined. Also, thedisruption to conductors <strong>and</strong> components caused by cracks must be determined by visual inspection. Toavoid causing additional damage, the technician must exercise care when examining cracked boards <strong>and</strong>3-34
