Amabhodi esekethe aphrintiwe, aphinde abizwe ngokuthi Amabhodi esekethe Aphrintiwe, ayizixhumanisi zikagesi zezingxenye ze-elekthronikhi.

Amabhodi esekethe aphrintiwe avame ukubizwa ngokuthi “PCB” kunokuthi “PCB board”.

Sekuyiminyaka engaphezu kwe-100 ithuthukiswa; Umklamo wayo ngokuyinhloko uwumklamo wesakhiwo; Inzuzo eyinhloko yebhodi lesifunda ukunciphisa kakhulu amaphutha ezintambo kanye nomhlangano, ukuthuthukisa izinga lokuzenzekelayo kanye nesilinganiso sabasebenzi bokukhiqiza.

Ngokwenani lezingqimba zebhodi lesifunda, lingahlukaniswa libe yiphaneli eyodwa, iphaneli kabili, izendlalelo ezine, izingqimba eziyisithupha nezinye izingqimba zebhodi lesifunda.

Ngenxa yokuthi amabhodi esekethe aphrintiwe awawona amatheminali ajwayelekile, kunokudideka okuthile encazelweni yegama. Isibonelo, ibhodi lomama lisetshenziswe kumakhompiyutha womuntu siqu libizwa ngokuthi ibhodi eliyinhloko futhi alikwazi ukubizwa ngokuqondile ngokuthi ibhodi lesifunda. Nakuba kukhona amabhodi wesifunda ebhodini elikhulu, awafani. Esinye isibonelo: ngoba kunezingxenye zesifunda ezihlanganisiwe ezilayishwe ebhodini lesifunda, ngakho-ke abezindaba babiza ibhodi le-IC, kodwa empeleni akufani nebhodi lesifunda eliphrintiwe. Uma sikhuluma ngamabhodi esekethe aphrintiwe, ngokuvamile sisho amabhodi wesifunda angenalutho angenazo izingxenye eziyinhloko.
