In the world of electronics, a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is like a backbone that holds everything together. It's a flat board made of a non-conductive material with pathways of conductive material, usually copper, etched or printed onto it. These pathways act as highways that connect the electronic components, allowing them to communicate and work together effectively.
