What is the full form of PCB?

The full form of PCB is Printed Circuit Board. PCBs are thin boards made of non-conductive materials like plastic, fibreglass, composite epoxy, and so forth that completely house copper circuitry in an electrical circuit. It contains conductive routes to connect various components, like transistors, resistors, ICs (integrated circuits), and so forth. It provides mechanical assistance and a path for current to pass to its electronic components.

Network cards, motherboards, graphics cards, internal hard drive circuit boards, TVs, digital cameras, laptops, mobile phones, and other electronic and computing devices require printed circuit boards (PCBs).

• While working in the UK in 1936, Austrian engineer Paul Eisler created the printed circuit that is a component of a radio set.
• Later, the US utilised them to create proximity fuzes for the Second World War. After the Second World War, the invention was published in the USA for commercial use.
• They are updated annually, and as a result, they are now included in many electronic devices.

• Its technology for the hall walls increases its possibilities.
• Due to its surface mounting technology, fewer components are used and assembled on both sides of the board.
• Its base or foundation is built of durable material.
• They are made up of numerous layers, each with unique properties.

The following is a list of the benefits of printed circuit boards.

• It prevents tight connections and short circuits
• Electronics with Low Noise.
• Lower cost.
• Reworkable.
• Simple diagnosis & fixes
• Increased longevity
• Reliability and the complexity of complex circuits.

The following is a list of the drawbacks of printed circuit boards.

• Not good for a Fine Pitch
• Thermal Shock Strike
• Costly PCB surfaces
