Additional notes

The Charger PWA consists of Twin Charger, Twin Charger to MST and TX64 cable harness, Twin Charger FAB of Twin, 8-bit Microcontrollers and Tank MCU Label. Any electronic component that is connected or mounted to a printed circuit boards is commonly referred as the PWA (Printed Wire Assembly). During the assembly arrangement, a PCB covered copper sheets consisting of conductive traces will be used along with a non-conductive substrate. For a full equipment operation, the electronic components should be fixed to a printed wire assembly. The JIG is connected directly to the charger assembly and battery pack through the switches. The charger requires a FAB, which has electroless nickel immersion gold, as their surface technics. It should be filled with a green-oil. For the sustainability of the surface mounted components and socket components, the printed wire assembly functions as a wiring foundation. It ensures that the components operate exactly to the yield output. The material used in PWA gives electrical isolation and good mechanical strength.
