Provides physical support

Carries electricity around the board

Main board made of strong, insulating material

Protective coating, often green that insulates and protects the copper tracks

Covers the copper and helps prevent accidental connections

Printed labels and markings to identify components

Copper path that carries electrical signals or current

Electronic part placed on the PCB that performs a specific job

Small exposed area of copper where a component's lead or pin is soldered

Small hole that connects top and bottom copper layers

Place where a component is attached.

Way for electricity to move between layers

Used to attach or secure the PCB to a case, frame or other surface

Material used to create electrical and mechanical connections

Broken trace

Traces are too close.

Poor solder connection

Excess solder connects two pads

Two unintended conductive paths touch

May cause unwanted electrical contact

A required electrical connection is missing.

Wrong position or orientation of components

A track may not safely carry the required current.
