A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is a vital component used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks, or signal traces etched from copper sheets on a non-conductive substrate. PCBs are the backbone of nearly all modern electronic devices, from smartphones and computers to industrial machines.

They come in various types, including single-sided, double-sided, and multilayer boards, depending on the complexity of the circuit. One specialized type is the flex PCB, which offers flexibility and is ideal for compact or dynamic applications like wearable tech or foldable devices. PCBs ensure efficient, reliable, and scalable electronic circuit design.
