Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

A printed circuit board, or PCB, is used to mechanically support and electrically connect
electronic components using conductive pathways, and tracks or signal traces etched from copper
sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate.
BASIC WORKSHOP PRACTICE II FIRST YEAR ENGINEERING

Advantages of PCB over bread board.
1. It provides mechanical support for the components mounted on it.
2. No external wires are required to connect the component.
3. There is actual contact through copper track hence there is no chance of loose
connection.
4. PCB occupies less space than the circuit assembled on the general purpose circuit
board.
5. Much time is saved using PCB as compared to conventional method to test the
circuit.
Types of PCB
A. Single side PCB:
In single sided PCB, Copper tracks are on one side and non-conducting substrate on other side.
These types of PCBs are used for simple circuits.
Copper Plate
Non-Conducting Substrate
B. Double side PCB:
In double sided PCB, copper tracks are on both sides. These types of PCBs are used for complex
circuits, to avoid the jumper wires.
Copper Plate

C. Multilayer PCB:
Multilayer PCBs are used for very high complex and big circuits. Example: multilayer PCBs are
used in CPU of computer.

PCB Artwork Rules:

Requirements for Artwork, Solder Mask, Silk Screen, SMT Printed Circuit Board
1. Sharp right angle bends or conducting paths should not be used.
2. The corners of traces (lines) aren’t squared. That is to avoid turn angles of 90 degrees or less
. Rounding the corners also reduces noise that occur on smaller, thinner lines.
3. Use circular pads at all places except pin one (1), which should be square.
4. All signal traces must originate or end at a pad.
5. T's are permitted on power and ground wiring.
6. All power and ground traces must be a minimum of 0.050 in. wide.
7. Maintain consistent orientation of similar components on the card.
8. The component location screen must indicate the following on the component side:
(a) Component outline.
(b) Component identification code from schematics (i.e. U1, R1,.....)
(c) Orientation of component (notch or pin 1).
(d) Diodes must have anode/cathode marked.
(e) "+" indicating polarity of polarized capacitors.
(f) Card name.
(g) Bright white indelible ink is to be used for the marking.
9. Place at roughly 1 capacitor for every I.C.
IPC, the Association Connecting Electronics Industries (formerly known as the Institute for
Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits), is an organization whose aim is to
standardize the assembly and production requirements of electronic equipment and assemblies.
IPC recommended track width for various currents are as follows.
Sr. No. Current (Amp) Track Width (mm)

1 1 0.25
2 2 0.76
3 3 1.27
4 4 2.03
5 5 2.79
6 6 3.81
7 7 4.57
8 8 5.59
9 9 6.60
10 10 7.62

manual.
4. Click on and see all the options.

5. Select TOP copper layer, bottom layer and Skill Screen layer
6. Click on Component and Symbol Manager icon. And see all the component
names, silk screen and distance between terminals.
7. Insert following components into the drawing sheet. You can select find option
also.
a. 3 Pin Connector for Center taped Transformer –1
b. Diodes –4
c. Electrolytic Capacitor 1000uF with lead spacing 5mm –2
d. Voltage Regulator 7805 without mounting hole –1
e. Voltage Regulator 7905 without mounting hole –1
f. Electrolytic Capacitor 10uF with lead spacing 2.5mm –2
g. Resistor –2

h. LED 2
i. 3 Pin Connector for output connection 1
8. Arrange the components as per the circuit diagram. While arranging the
component please check that no component is touching each other.
9. Yellow color represents the silk screen i.e. shape and size of the component.
And red color represents the components terminals which is to be drilled
10. Now Click on to place the track.

11. Select bottom copper layer and the track width as 0.05”
12. Read the artwork rules from proposition and then connect the components as per
the circuit diagram. The track color is green.
13. Assign the component’s Part ID (such as D1 or D2). To do this, select then
double-click on the component to display its Component properties dialog box.
14. Write down the properties of components from component properties dialog box
15. Select bottom copper layer & Write down your name and roll no below the PCB
LAYOUT.
16. Click on File menu, select the print option. And observe the various print options
available
17. Take the printout of Bottom copper layer of PCB and paste it in observation
18. Take the printout of Silk screen, pads and text on top layer of PCB and paste it in
observation
