Printed circuit board assembly
side. "SMD" components are soldered on the same side of the board. A board can use both methods for soldering components. Today PCBs with components mounted only through holes are now less common. PCB layer, 1 Surface mount is used for components like transistors, diodes, IC chips, resistors and capacitors. Through-hole mounting can be used for some

impedance. In RF and fast switching circuits, the inductance and capacitance of the printed circuit board conductors become significant, usually unwanted, circuit elements; rather, they can be used as part of the circuit design, as PCB 1 layer, in distributed element filters, antennas, and fuses, avoiding the need for additional separate components. High
Printed circuit board construction
sandwich structure of conductive PCB layer, 1 and insulating layers. A basic printed circuit consists of a flat sheet of insulating material FR4, Rogers or Polyamide for flexible circuits, and a layer of copper foil, laminated to the substrate. Chemical etching divides the copper into separate conductive lines called tracks or circuit paths, pads for connections, metallized
