Circuit Board
A circuit board, often called a printed circuit board (PCB), is a flat piece of material that holds and connects electronic components like chips, resistors, and capacitors. It provides a structured platform with conductive pathways, usually made of copper, that allow electric current to flow between parts, enabling the device to operate. By organizing components efficiently on the board, it reduces clutter, enhances reliability, and makes manufacturing easier. Circuit boards are essential for almost all electronic devices, from smartphones to computers, ensuring circuitry is compact, durable, and precisely connected.
