printed circuit board (PCB) 

What is PCB?

 

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the boards that are used as the base in most electronics – both as a physical support piece and as the wiring area for the surface-mounted and socketed components. PCBs are most commonly made out of fiberglass, composite epoxy, or another composite material.

The majority of PCBs for basic electronics are simple and just have single layer. There can be up to twelve layers in more complex electronics like motherboards or computer graphics cards.

PCBs are a common component in computers, but they are also found in a variety of other electronic devices, including TVs, radios, digital cameras, and cell phones.In addition to their use in consumer electronics and computers, different types of PCBs are used in a variety of other fields, including:

 

 

Industrial machinery: 

 

 

   PCBs are commonly used in high-powered industrial machinery. In places where current one-ounce copper PCBs do not fit the requirements, thick copper PCB can be utilized instead. Examples of situations where thicker copper PCBs would be beneficial include motor controllers, high-current battery chargers and industrial load test

Most medical devices use a high-density PCB, which is used to create the smallest and densest design possible. Electronics products are now denser and consume less power than previous generations.PCBs have found their way into everything from small devices, such as pacemakers, to much larger devices like X-ray equipment or CAT scan machines

 

 

aerospace and automotive industries.

 

 

They are created to sustain the high-vibration conditions that are common of both fields. They can be very lightweight, which is essential when producing components for the transportation industries, depending on the specifications and design. Flexible PCBs come in a variety of varieties, each with unique manufacturing requirements.
