Brief introduction of PCB board
Broad sense: printed circuit boards are equipped with resistors, capacitors, IC and other electronic components, and the products are electrically connected by soldering. Generally we also call it as PCBA.
Narrow sense: refers to the circuit board which has no components installed, only graphics circuit.
The name of this kind of product originates from the conductive graphics circuit board formed by screen printing process.
In 1942, Dr. Eisler, a British doctor, initiated the application of etch-resistant ink patterns on the insulating substrates covered with copper foil by screen printing. This pattern is the conductive circuit to be formed, and then etched the copper foil which was not covered with ink patterns (it was a chemical method), and the remaining lines are obtained.
During World War II, this method was widely used in the military electronics field in the United States, and has been developing to various factions, such as laser engraving lines, photographic printing lines and so on.
Dr. Eisler is known as the father of printed circuits.
