SUMMARY
Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are primarily made from materials such as fiberglass, epoxy resin, and copper. The most common substrate used is FR-4, a composite of woven fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin. Copper is used for the conductive pathways on the PCB, while additional materials may include polyimide for flexible PCBs and aluminum for specific applications. Understanding these materials is crucial for PCB design and manufacturing processes.
