Printed circuit board construction
of a flat sheet of insulating material board Rigid-Flex 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 holes (vias) for passing connections
Printed circuit soldermask
contact with possible loose wires. For its function of helping to prevent solder shorts, the coating is called a solder mask. Rigid-Flex board Soldermask is generally green in color but can have different colors: green, red, blue, white, black. Only the outer layers need to be covered with solder mask, the inner copper layers are protected
Printed circuit board silkscreen
and has the role of a reference indicator for the components on the PCB. Graphics and text on a circuit board's PCB are usually printed with a non-conductive permanent epoxy board Rigid-Flex ink. The color is usually white, although other colors are available: yellow, black, blue, red.
