Blanc

French to English Tech/Engineering Electronics / Elect Eng
In a schematic diagram for an electrical circuit.
Apologies if this is a really simple question but I have a deadline to meet.

Is the translation "white" or "blank" or is it something else entirely ?

There are no other colours on the diagram.

Apart from translating the word blanc as white or blank, I could only think of this, as I do not the context in which this word has been used.
