(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.
