What is a PCB and its advantages
Short answer
A PCB is an insulating board with copper tracks that support and connect components. Advantages are compactness, reliability, low mass-production cost, easy maintenance, good electrical performance with low noise, and mechanical strength.
What is PCB? Write down the advantages of PCB.
A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is a flat board of insulating material (such as FR4 glass epoxy) with conducting copper tracks printed on one or both sides (or inner layers) that mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components.
Advantages
- Compact and light weight; high component density.
- Reliable and repeatable: fixed connections, no wiring errors, fewer loose connections.
- Low cost for mass production, with automated assembly and soldering.
- Easy maintenance, testing and troubleshooting.
- Good electrical performance: short connections, controlled impedance and lower noise and crosstalk.
- Mechanically strong and vibration resistant.
