English term or phrase: board ( en este contexto)
You can service many system components, such as the detector preamplifier boards inside the detector cans or the single board computer system and its components
Laura
tarjetas / placas
Explanation:
Many computer firms prefer to make a distinction between the peripheral cards or boards (tarjetas) and the main board (placa de sistema, placa matriz, or even "motherboard" carried over from English). Generally, the latter is larger and is attached to the computer's chassis. The smaller "boards" or "cards" are inserted into slots as add-ons. So, in your example I would recommend "tarjetas" for the detector preamplifier boards, but "sistema de computadora (OR ordenador for Spain) de placa única" when referring to the single-board computer system.

tablilla


Explanation:
Otro término que se usa, ej. "tablilla de circuito" = circuit board, etc.

Supongo también que será función de sus dimensiones, la "tarjeta" (card) será más chica y la placa o tablilla más grande, en fin...
