1. PCB Structure and Manufacturing Defects

Key Concepts & Definitions

  • Printed circuit board: A glass-reinforced plastic board with etched copper tracks that connect electronic components into complex circuits.

Essential Points

★ Must-know

  • The study identifies missing components, misalignment, wrong polarity, short circuits, open circuits, solder bridges, component damage, scratches, and damaged traces as possible PCB defects.

Further detail

  • PCBs are used in virtually all commercially produced electronic devices because they are rugged, inexpensive, and highly reliable.

🔄 Process — Bare PCB fabrication includes copper foil coverage, photoresist film formation, etching, and film stripping.
