PCBs: The Silent Backbone of Modern Electronics
Printed Circuit Boards which are normally referred to as PCBs are uncelebrated heroes behind the modern world. Global consumers use a range of devices every day, including smartphones, television sets, cars and even industrial control panels, and most of the time there is a good likelihood that the sounds and lights remain to be operational thanks to a PCB operating quietly in the background. However, what are the reasons why PCBs are so important? We will read about their purpose, their benefits and how unavoidable they are in present day technology dominated era. What is a PCB? Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is a planar board constituted out of the non conductive materials (such as fiberglass) to hold and connect the electronic components with the help of conductive path and tracks or signal traces. The copper sheets which are etched to form these paths are laminated on a non-conducting substrate. The PCBs can be: Single-sided — one layer conducting material Two-sided...
