Ama-PCB ahlangothini olulodwa (anongqimba olulodwa lwethusi), amabili / emaceleni amabili (ungqimba lwethusi olunezingqimba eziphakathi kwawo), noma i-multilayer (izingqimba eziningi ze-PCB emaceleni amabili). Ubukhulu obujwayelekile be-PCB ngama-0.063inches noma i-1.57mm; kuyizinga elilinganiselwe elichazwe kokwedlule. Ama-PCB ajwayelekile asebenzisa i-dielectric nethusi njengoba insimbi yabo evelele kakhulu inezingqimba ezahlukahlukene zempahla. Bafaka i-substrate, noma isisekelo, esenziwe nge-fiberglass, ama-polymers, i-ceramic noma omunye umgogodla ongeyona owensimbi. Amaningi ala ma-PCB asebenzisa i-FR-4 ye-substrate.Izinto eziningi ziyasebenza lapho uthenga futhi wenza ibhodi yesifunda yokuphrinta (i-PCB) efana nephrofayili, isisindo, nezinto. Ungathola ama-PCB ajwayelekile asetshenziswe kunombolo yezinhlelo zokusebenza ezingapheli. Amandla abo ancike ezintweni zokwakha nasekwakhiweni kwawo, ngakho-ke banika amandla i-elekthronikhi esezingeni eliphansi futhi ephezulu ngokufanayo. Ama-PCB asohlangothi olulodwa avela kumadivayisi angahlangani kangako njengama-calculator, kuyilapho amabhodi ama-multilayer enekhono lokuxhasa imishini yesikhala nama-supercomputer.
