What is a printed circuit board?

Printed circuits boards, also known as PCBs, are the electronic boards used in most electronic devices. The boards both physically and mechanically support the device, as well as connecting the electronic components. PCBs are typically made from non-substrate materials with layers of copper circuitry. These layers can range from a single layer all the way up to fifty-plus layers, meaning there is a wide range of PCBs to choose from. PCBs can be found in many electronic devices such as mobile phones, TVs, media equipment, lighting and even in equipment in the aerospace industry.

There are several types of PCBs, each with their own particular design, manufacturing and assembly processes. Find out more about the different types and how we can help below.
