Notes

The term "electronic module" as used in this class designates an electronic component designed for use in various equipment or end item applications, and capable of controlling voltage and/or current to produce gain, oscillation, switching or similar integral electronic functions. It consists of a collection of miniaturized electronic parts and/or elements in a single replaceable package with plug-in mounting which will also complete the required electrical connections. It is not normally subject to disassembly as distinguished from such items as CIRCUIT CARD ASSEMBLY and ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS ASSEMBLY. These modules conform to industry or government specifications/standards that define all physical dimensions and electrical parameters required to promote commonality and ensure proper operational performance.
