Types of Printed
Circuit Boards (PCBs) What is a PCB? A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a board that connects electronic components using conductive pathways.
Purpose: Helps in organizing, supporting, and connecting electronic
components in devices like computers, phones, and appliances. Types of PCBs 1. Single-Sided PCB • It has just one layer of conductive material, usually copper, on one side of the board. All the electrical connections and components are placed on this single conductive layer, while the other side is typically a non-conductive material like fiberglass.
• They are cost-effective and easy to manufacture but
have limited functionality.
• Common Use: Simple electronics like calculators and
Remote control Types of PCBs 2. Double-Sided PCB • It has two conductive layers, one on the top side and one on the bottom side of the board.It provides better circuit density and connectivity • Common Use: More complex circuits like smartphones and cameras. Types of PCBs 3. Multi-Layer PCB • It has more than two conductive layers stacked together, separated by insulating materials.They allow for highly complex circuit designs with increased functionality, reliability, and reduced size. • Common Use: High-performance devices like medical equipment, and laptop. Types of PCBs 4. Rigid PCB • It is made from solid, inflexible materials like fiberglass, preventing it from bending or twisting. Once manufactured, it keeps its shape permanently. • Common Use: Used in television, and industrial electronics for durability. Types of PCBs 5. Flexible PCB • It is made from bendable and lightweight materials, such as polyimide or flexible plastic, allowing it to bend, twist, and fold without breaking. • Common Use: Wearable technology, medical devices, and foldable smartphones. Types of PCBs 6. Rigid-Flex PCB • It combines both rigid and flexible sections in a single board. This allows certain parts of the circuit to stay firm while others bend or fold, making it ideal for compact and durable electronics. • Common Use: wearable electronics Why PCBs Are Important? Efficiency: Helps in managing electrical connections.
Durability: Provides strong mechanical support.
Compact Design: Saves space and reduces device size.
Reliability: Improves the performance and lifespan of electronic products.
