PCBpõhine

PCBpõhine refers to anything that is based on or utilizes a Printed Circuit Board (PCB). A PCB serves as the foundation for assembling electronic components. It is a rigid or flexible board made of insulating material with conductive pathways etched or printed onto its surface. These pathways, often called traces, connect various electronic components like resistors, capacitors, integrated circuits, and connectors.

The primary function of a PCB is to provide mechanical support for these components and to electrically connect them in a predetermined circuit design. This allows for the creation of complex electronic devices, from simple calculators to sophisticated computers and communication systems. The process of designing and manufacturing PCBs is a crucial part of electronics production.

"PCBpõhine" can describe a product, a system, or a technology that relies on this foundational electronic assembly. For example, a "PCBpõhine sensor" would be a sensor where all its electronic components are mounted and interconnected on a PCB. Similarly, a "PCBpõhine power supply" indicates a power supply unit constructed using a PCB to house its circuitry. The term emphasizes the reliance on the printed circuit board as the core structural and electrical element.
