A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a fundamental component used in electronics to connect and support electrical components. It consists of a non-conductive base material, typically fiberglass, with copper traces that form conductive pathways to link various components such as resistors, capacitors, and integrated circuits. The PCB is essential for organizing and securing components in a compact and efficient manner. It can be a single-sided, double-sided, or multi-layer board, depending on the complexity of the circuit. PCBs are widely used in electronic devices like computers, mobile phones, and industrial machinery, ensuring reliable electrical connections and signal integrity.

Single-Sided Circuit Boards (SSBs) are the most basic type of printed circuit boards, with conductive copper traces applied to only one side of the board. The non-conductive side typically holds the components, which are soldered onto the copper traces for electrical connections. SSBs are ideal for simple electronic devices and low-complexity applications, such as power supplies, LED lights, and basic consumer electronics. Their straightforward design makes them cost-effective and easy to manufacture. However, their limited space for components restricts their use in more complex circuits, where multi-layer boards are required. SSBs offer reliability, simplicity, and efficiency in many basic applications.
