Procedure in PCB Designing
Objectives:
1. Acquire knowledge how to design printed circuit
board.
2. Perform Printed circuit board designing using the
circuit diagram of variable regulated AC/DC power
supply.
3. Understand the importance of printed circuit board
designing in making PCB module
Procedure in PCB Designing
•A printed circuit board (PCB) has
components inserted into the
hole and soldered to form its circuit
connection.
•Its main purpose is to reduce the
space and to troubleshoot easily
when problem arises.
Procedure in PCB Designing
•The printed circuit board (PCB) has
conductors that are thin strip of
copper, usually bonded to a
baseboard called substrate. There
are two very common substrate
materials used in printed circuit, the
phenolic and epoxy plastic.
Procedure in PCB Designing
• Copper

Printed Circuit Board
•In PCB designing, we should not
focus only on the size of the
pathways linking to the other
component, but also on the types,
kinds, and characteristics of
component. Here are the other
design factors needed:
Printed Circuit Board
•1. PCB size and shape. The PCB
must be big enough for the entire
component to be mounted where it
is anticipated.
Printed Circuit Board
•2. Position of the Terminal. Input,
output and supply voltage if
possible should be placed near the
border for easier way during
troubleshooting or minor repair.
Printed Circuit Board
•3. High Temperature Dissipation. Too
much heat is the number one problem
of all components. Bigger space is
needed so that heat sink can be
provided to the component. This will
protect the component from burning
up.
Printed Circuit Board
•4. Accessibility of Components. This
component that is adjustable or
variable (example: potentiometer,
trimmer resistor or capacitor)
should be placed near the border to
make the troubleshooting or minor
repair easier.
Printed Circuit Board
•5. Space for Bolt and Nut. The
designer should place an allowance
for mounting the PCB with bolt and
nut in securing the entire board to
the chassis.
Printed Circuit Board
•6. Different Types of Circuit Should be
grouped according to its Application.
This will enhance the circuit operation
and will prevent it from distortion
generated by other circuit. This is the
reason why the circuit of the power
supply is far from the audio circuit.
Procedure in PCB designing
1. Prepare the tools and materials needed in lay
outing and designing a PCB
• Tools and materials needed:
• Ruler
• Utility cutter
• Permanent marker
• Pencil and Eraser
• Graphing paper and a piece of bond paper (short)
• Masking Tape
