Iibhodi zesekethe eziprintiweyo, ezikwabizwa ngokuba ziibhodi zesekethe eziprintiweyo, ziluqhagamshelo lombane kumacandelo e-elektroniki.

Iibhodi zesekethe eziprintiweyo zidla ngokubizwa ngokuba yi-“PCB” kune-“PCB board”.

Sele kuphuhliso iminyaka engaphezu kwe-100; Uyilo lwayo ikakhulu uyilo loyilo; Inzuzo ephambili yebhodi yesiphaluka kukunciphisa kakhulu iimpazamo ze-wiring kunye nendibano, ukuphucula izinga lokuzenzekelayo kunye nesantya somsebenzi wokuvelisa.

Ngokutsho kwenani leengqimba zebhodi yesekethe, inokwahlulwa ibe yiphaneli enye, ipaneli ephindwe kabini, imigangatho emine, imigangatho emithandathu kunye nezinye iiplanga zebhodi yesekethe.

Ngenxa yokuba iibhodi zesekethe eziprintiweyo azizomveliso eziqhelekileyo ze-terminal, kukho ukudideka kwinkcazo yegama. Ngokomzekelo, ibhodi yomama yayisetyenziswe kwiikhomputha zomntu ibizwa ngokuba yibhodi ephambili kwaye ayinakubizwa ngokuthe ngqo kwibhodi yesiphaluka. Nangona kukho iibhodi zeesekethe kwibhodi ephambili, azifani. Omnye umzekelo: ngenxa yokuba kukho amacandelo esekethe adibeneyo alayishwe kwibhodi yesekethe, ngoko amajelo eendaba abiza ibhodi ye-IC, kodwa eneneni ayifani nebhodi yesekethe eprintiweyo. Xa sithetha ngeebhodi zeesekethe eziprintiweyo, ngokuqhelekileyo sithetha iibhodi zesekethe ezingenanto ezingenanto eziphambili.
