PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD

PREPARED BY:
MR. MELCHOR G. MENDROS, LPT
What is PCB?
• PCB is an acronym for Printed Circuit Board.
• PCB is a plate used for placing the different elements that
conform an electrical interconnection between them.
• It is a board that has lines and pads that connects various
points together.
Why PCB?
• Before printed circuits became the common component used
in electronics, poiny to point construction was used.
• this means some bulky and unreliable design that required
large sockets and regular replacement.
• most of this issues were directly addressed when PCB went
into direct production.
• PCB’s are rugged, inexpensive and can be highly reliable.
• mass manufacturing.
• reduced space and time.
History of PCB

• The first PCB can be traced all the back on early 1900 and a
patent for printed wire.
• In 1925 that Charles Ducas first submitted a patent that
involved creating an electrical path directly on an insulated
surface.
• It was revolutionary idea because it could eliminate complex
wiring and provide consistent results.
• Still, they didn’t really catch on until WWII, when Dr. Paul Eisler
in Austria began making the first real operational PCB in 1943.
Basic PCB classification
• PCB’s may be classified in many different ways according to
their various attributes. One fundamental structure common to
all of them is that they must provide electrical conductor paths
that interconnect componentsto be mounted on them.
 There are two basic ways to form these conductors:
 Subtractive. in this process, the unwanted portion of the
copper foil on the base substrate is etched away. leaving the
desired conductor pattern in place.
 Additive. in this process, formation of the conductor pattern is
accomplished by adding copper to a bare substrate in the
pattern and places desired.
Types of PCB

• Single sided PCB.


• Double sided PCB.
• Multilayer PCB.
• Rigid-flex PCB.
• Flexible PCB.
• High frequency PCB.
• For single sided PCB, the components are on one side,
conducting wires are on other side. single sided PCB is the
most simple and basic PCB.
• double sided board components and conductors can be on
both the sides.
• However if we use the conductor patterns on both sides, there
should be proper circuit to connect two sides.
• the bridge between the circuits is called via.
• double sided PCB boards are a common tool in both
production and prototype circuits. they allow a higher density in
components and make laying of tracks an easier process.
• Multilayer PCB uses more single or double boards. it uses
several piece of double sided boards, and a dielectric layer is
put between every layer of boards. the layers of one PCB
represent the layer of conductor patterns the amount of the
layers is always even number. technically we can make PCB’s
upto 100 layers.
• Rigid flex PCB gives you the ability to design your circuity to fit
the device, instead of building a device to fit the circuit board.
• Rigid flex circuits are designed for the rigors of aerospace,
medical and military applications, with dependable reliability.
• flex assemblies have the ability to be folded or creased and
positioned into the smallest areas makes miniaturization of
many devices possible, while offering a substantial weight
reduction.
Flexible PCB

• Each type of flex circuit offers different advantages. while some


types can offer lower production costs, others have aditional
increased functionality.
• Flex and Rigid-flex gives the ability to design your circuitry to fit
the device, instead of building a device to fit the circuit board.
Flex PCB Benifits
• are thin and light weight wich enables a substantial packaging
size reduction.
• they have the ability to be folded or creased and positioned into
the smallest areas makes miniaturization of many devices
posible.
• space requirements can be minimized by applying the freedom
of 3D packaging geometry.
• utilizing a flex solution into your design can offer a substantial
weight reduction benefit over using wires and wire harnesses.
• flexible circuits can be used to replace wiring, reduces the
errors common in hand wired assemblies.
High Frequency PCB
• the increasing complexity of electronic components and
switches continually requires faster signal flow rates, and thus
higher transmission frequencies. because of short pulse rise
times in electronic components, it has also become necessary
for high frequency technology to view conductor widths as an
electronic component.
• depending on various parameters, HF signals are reflected on
circuit board, meaning that the impedance varies with respect
to the sending component. to prevent such capacitice effects,
all parameters must be exactly specified, and implemented
with the highest level of process control.
Components used in PCB
• Resistors
• Diode
• Capacitors
• Sensor
• Transistors
• Integrated Circuit
• Inductors
• Transformers
• Fuses and etc...
Two main methods for mounting components onto PCB

• Through-Hole mounting
• Surface mounting

Through hole mounting is the process by which component leads


are placed into drilled holes on a bare PCB. The process was
standard practice until the rise of SMT in 1980s, at which time it
was expected to completely phase out THM. Yet, despite a
severe drop on popularity over the years, through-hole
technology has proven resilient in the age of SMT, offering a
number of advantages and niche applications: namely reliability.
• Through-hole components are best used for high-reliability
products that require stronger connections between layers.
whereas SMT components are scured only by solder on the
surface of the board, through-hole components leads run
through the board, allowing the components to withstand more
environmental stress.
that’s all!
