               component from a printed wiring board to which the                     
               electrical component will be attached which                            
               comprises:                                                             


                    (a) a shaped mixture of                                           
                         (i) an injection moldable solid mixture of                   
                    partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol resin,                     
                    and                                                               
                         (ii) fully hydrolyzed polyvinyl alcohol                      
                    resin,                                                            
                    (b) said mixture being capable [sic: of]                          
               retaining its shape at the printed wiring board                        
               fabrication and soldering temperatures encountered.                    
               36. The spacer of claim 1 further including a                          
               printed wiring board having an aperture therein,                       
               said spacer disposed about said aperture, and an                       
               electrical component having a wire extending                           
               therefrom, said electrical component resting on said                   
               spacer and said wire extending through said spacer                     
               and into said aperture.

               thermoplastic spacer for use to space an electrical                    
               component from a printed wiring board to which the                     
               electrical component will be attached which                            
               comprises:                                                             
                    (a) an injection moldable member having a                         
               central aperture extending therethrough                                
                    (b) of a water soluble thermoplastic polymer                      
                    (c) which retains its shape at the printed                        
               wiring board fabrication and soldering temperatures                    
               encountered.
