It may also include printed electronic components. The item is generally part of a subassembly and cannot be assigned a more definite item name. For items having a complete individual electrical/electronic function, use applicable item name such as amplifier (as modified); power supply; or the like. For items not having a complete individual electrical/electronic function, see applicable subassembly name, such as amplifier subassembly; power supply subassembly; or the like. For an assembly of electrical/electronic components mounted on other than a single printed wiring board, see electronic components assembly. Excludes:printed circuit board
