n. [IBM] Patch wires (esp. 30 AWG gauge) added to circuit boards at the
|
|
|
|
|
factory to correct design or fabrication problems. Blue wire is not
|
|
|
|
|
necessarily blue, the term describes function rather than color. These may
|
|
|
|
|
be necessary if there hasn't been time to design and qualify another board
|
|
|
|
|
version. In Great Britain this can be bodge wire , after mainstream slang
|
|
|
|
|
bodge for a clumsy improvisation or sloppy job of work. Compare purple wire
|
|
|
|
|
, red wire , yellow wire , pink wire.
