PCB layout Printed Circuit Board
Everything about PCB or Printed Circuit Board you need to know!
Circuit board assembly, repair and design, stripboard, veroboard, PCB layout, manufacturing, fabrication and design software.
All electronic components must be interconnected and assembled to form a functional and operating system. The use of miniaturization parts in electronic equipment design introduced a new technique in inter-component wiring and assembly that is known as the printed circuit board.
Printed Circuit Boards Classification
Printed Circuit Boards may be classified (PCB classification) according to their various attributes. They were traditionally divided into three classes according to their use and applications, and were commonly referred to as consumer, professional and high reliability boards. (more…)
What a PCB Is Made Of
A basic PCB starts with a copper-clad fiberglass material or thin copper sheets adhered to either side of the board.
With a multilayer board (a board with more than two copper layers), a piece of Pre-Preg may be placed between these cores to create one solid board with several copper layers. Pre-Preg is made of material similar to the core with additional adhesive that will adhere it to the layer above and below. (more…)
PCB components
Since the invention of printed circuit technology by Dr. Paul Eisner in 1936, several methods and processes have been developed for manufacturing printed circuit board (PCBs) of various types.
The essential components of a PCB are (more…)
