PCB PrototypePCB, which stands for a Printed Circuit Board, is the main component that is required to produce a prototype in electronics. Electronic circuits that are to be presented need to be modeled in a PCB material so that the circuit will not be that bulky. Designing a circuit on a PCB requires a lot of skill and experience to be able to arrange all the items that are needed efficiently to take up the least space possible. This allows the circuit to be transferred or transported safely and efficiently. Electronic circuits can be made on breadboards but it is not considered a circuit but an assembled system. It is much unorganized as wires are connected from one hole to another and it can easily be sabotaged by misplacing wires into the wrong holes. Using a PCB on the other hand removes the unnecessary use of excess wires as each part is wired to one other using the film that is etched on the PCB. Electricity will only flow to the etchings and the etchings can be as fine as the equipment can make it out to be. This makes a more compact design that requires much less space. This also removes the fear of having inserted the wire in the wrong hole as there is no way to do reconnections once everything is already connected. Learning the use and importance of the PCB is important because the designing part of the PCB is quite a challenge. There is a need to optimize space and to make sure that the etchings are still connected and no etchings are shorted at the same time. The smaller the PCB layout is harder it will be to design but the better the circuit will be. Successfully doing so will lead the production of a PCB prototype. Having a PCB prototype means that the circuit done on the PCB is already working. Designing the PCB prototype will actually give the person or the company an idea of how to design the circuit board properly so that they can maximize the use of the space that they have. It will also let them know of the things that they can improve on just in case they plan to mass produce whatever it is that they are making. This will allow them to
