3. A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically
supports and electrically connects electronic
components using conductive tracks, pads and other
features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a
non-conductive substrate.
FR-4 glass epoxy is the primary insulating
substrate upon which the vast majority of
rigid PCBs are produced.
A PCB populated with electronic components is
called a printed circuit assembly (PCA), printed
circuit board assembly or PCB assembly (PCBA)
4. To make a permanent circuit
To avoid short circuit
To avoid wires
To reduce the cost of circuit
To reduce the size of circuit
To reuse the pcb design
Need of pcb
8. Design of trace pcb
Need a layout
Past it to pcb trace
To remove the unwanted copper
Need to drill
Place components and soldering
9. Stands for Easily Applicable Graphic Layout
Editor
flexible, expandable and
scriptable EDA application with schematic
capture editor, PCB layout editor, auto-router
Latest version is 6.1 and minimum
requirements are MAC OS X 10.6, Linux 2.6
and Windows XP.

13. Chemical etching
Chemical etching is usually done with
ammonium per sulfate or ferric chloride.
In which the board is submerged in etching
solution such as ferric chloride
Solution
The etching time is long. Heat and agitation can
be applied to the bath to speed the etching rate.

16. Surface-mount technology
Components were mechanically redesigned to have
small metal tabs or end caps that could be soldered
directly onto the PCB surface
Instead of wire leads to pass through holes
Allowing much smaller PCB assemblies with much
higher circuit densities.

18. The circuit board fabrication cost (pcb cost) is lower with
mass quantity production.
Chances of miss wiring or short-circuited wiring are
minimized.
Component wiring and assembly can be minimized in a
circuit board manufacturing facility.
The location of electronic parts is fixed and so it
simplifies components identification and maintenance of
equipment.
Advantages
19. Re designing is required for the new type
of circuit operation.
Very hard to get repaired if it gets
damaged.
We can not update it , once printed.
Etching of this PCB generates chemicals
which are the harmful for the
environment.....
Disadvantages
