A Printed Circuit Board or PCB is one component that is present in almost all the electronic equipment we use in our daily life. It forms the foundation of any circuit. A PCB is where all the electrical/electronic components are held together and interconnected without any wires. The connections on the PCB, is not only permanent but also fairly neat and easily understood. If you are keen on building an electronic circuit, you need to be really familiar with the basics of PCB design. In this article, I will break down some of the commonly used PCB terminologies, the PCB design process, and some of the popular PCB design software. But first, let me explain what is a PCB really! What is a Printed Circuit Board (PCB)? Have you ever opened up an old, worn-out electronic equipment like tv remote or mobile phone? If yes, then you must have seen a…
