Brief history of PCB
The
inventor of the printed circuit board was Austrian Paul Eisler, who used a
printed circuit board in a radio device in 1936. In 1943, the Americans used
the technology extensively in military radios. In 1948, the United States
formally recognized the invention for commercial purposes. Since the mid-1950s,
printed circuit technology began to be widely used. Before the appearance of
printed circuit boards, the interconnection between electronic components is to
rely on direct connection of wire. Later, the circuit panel only exists as an
effective experimental tool. And now, printed circuit board has occupied the
absolute dominance of the position in the electronics industry.
