Solder mask

A coating on a PC board, usually a dark green or dark blue, but occasionally a yellowish color, which is designed to insulate and protect the copper traces and keep them from shorting together during the wave soldering process. The soldermask is "masked out" at solder pads, to allow for soldering component leads.
