printed circuit
Etched copper board
A printed circuit is an electronic circuit in which the conducting pathways are etched or printed onto a flat insulating board rather than assembled from separate wires.
The board, typically made of fiberglass or similar material, has thin copper traces that connect components like resistors, capacitors, and microchips.
Printed circuits revolutionized electronics manufacturing by enabling mass production of compact, reliable devices.
Nearly all modern electronics—from smartphones to washing machines—contain printed circuit boards.
