Manufacture of Printed Circuit Boards Introduction Although an initial electronic circuit may well be fabricated on Vero board as a prototype, it is preferable that printed circuit boards (PCBs) be used for the final construction of any electronic circuit. Indeed, circuits used in industry will inevitably use PCBs because they have good reliability and, if necessary, component placement on the boards can be automated. In its simplest form a circuit will have copper tracks on the underside of a fibreglass reinforced board. Holes are then drilled through the board to take components which ar
