Properties of the printed circuit board
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 in distributed element Controlled impedance filters, antennas, and fuses, avoiding the need for additional separate components. High Density Interconnect (HDI) PCBs
Printed circuit board assembly
printed circuit boards with more than two, four and especially more than six layers of copper Controlled impedance has been concurrent with the adoption of surface mount technology. "Through holes" components are assembled by their legs passing through the board and glued to the pads on the other side. "SMD" components are soldered on the same
Printed circuit board silkscreen
the components on Controlled impedance the PCB. Graphics and text on a circuit board's PCB are usually printed with a non-conductive permanent epoxy ink. The color is usually white, although other colors are available: yellow, black, blue, red. Screen printing is used to render useful information on the PCB board that
