computer circuit consisting of an electronic sub-assembly; copper conductors are laminated on an insulating board or card and circuit components are inserted into holes and dip soldered
A printed circuit is an electronic component designed for interconnecting the other components It usually consists of a metallic conductor pattern on an organic insulating substrate After fabrication, it is known as a printed circuit board (PCB); after assembly where components are added, it is known as a printed wiring assembly (PWA)
A copper foil circuit formed on one or both faces of an insulating board to which circuit components are soldered The copper foil pattern serves to connect components and is produced either by etching or plating
a set of connections in a piece of electrical equipment consisting of thin lines of metal on a board. Electrical device in which the wiring and certain components consist of a thin coat of electrically conductive material applied in a pattern on an insulating substrate. Printed circuits replaced conventional wiring after World War II in much electronic equipment, greatly reducing size and weight while improving reliability and uniformity over the hand-soldered circuits formerly used. They are commonly used to mount integrated circuits on boards for use as plug-in units in computers, televisions, and other electronic devices. Mass-produced printed circuit boards allow automated assembly of electronic components, considerably reducing their cost
