Definition
The sharpness of a screen-printed pattern - the exactness with which a pattern is printed.

Dielectric
Materials that do not conduct electricity and that are used for making capacitors, for insulating conductors (as in crossover and multi-layered circuits), and for encapsulating circuits.

Dielectric Constant
The term used to describe a material's ability to store charge when used as a capacitor dielectric. It is the ratio of the charge that would be stored with free space as the dielectric to that stored with the material in question as the dielectric.

Dielectric Layer
A layer of dielectric material between two conductor plates.

Dual in Line Pack (DIP)
A package having two rows of leads extending at right angles from the base and having standard spacings between lead and between rows of leads.
