Ikibaho cyumuzingo cyacapwe kigizwe nicyapa cyo hasi, insinga ihuza hamwe na padi yo guteranya no gusudira ibikoresho bya elegitoroniki, kandi bifite imikorere ibiri yumuzunguruko hamwe nicyapa cyo hasi.Irashobora gusimbuza insinga zigoye kandi ikamenya guhuza amashanyarazi hagati yibice bitandukanye byumuzunguruko.Ntabwo yoroshya gusa guterana no gusudira ibicuruzwa bya elegitoroniki, bigabanya imirimo yinsinga muburyo gakondo, kandi bigabanya cyane imbaraga zumurimo w'abakozi;igabanya kandi imashini rusange Umubare, kugabanya igiciro cyibicuruzwa, no kuzamura ubwiza nubwizerwe bwibikoresho bya elegitoroniki.Ikibaho cyumuzunguruko cyacapishijwe gifite ibicuruzwa byiza bihoraho, kandi birashobora kwemeza igishushanyo mbonera, bifasha muburyo bwo gukora imashini no gutangiza ibikorwa.Muri icyo gihe, ikibaho cyose cyacapwe cyateranijwe kandi cyaciwe gishobora gukoreshwa nkigice cyigenga kugirango byoroherezwe guhana no gufata neza ibicuruzwa byose.Kugeza ubu, imbaho zicapye zikoreshwa cyane mugukora ibicuruzwa bya elegitoroniki.
Ikibaho cyambere cyacapishijwe imizunguruko yakoresheje impapuro zishingiye kumuringa wanditseho umuringa.Kuva havuka transistors ya semiconductor mu myaka ya za 1950, icyifuzo cyibibaho byacapwe cyazamutse cyane.By'umwihariko, iterambere ryihuse hamwe nogukoresha kwinshi kwizunguruka ryatumye ingano yibikoresho bya elegitoronike iba nto kandi ntoya, kandi ubucucike ningorabahizi zo gukoresha insinga byabaye binini kandi binini, bisaba guhora bivugurura imbaho zacapwe.Kugeza ubu, imbaho zitandukanye zacapwe zateye imbere kuva ku rubaho rumwe kugeza ku mbaho ebyiri, imbaho nyinshi kandi zoroshye;imiterere nubuziranenge nabyo byateye imbere kuri ultra-high density, miniaturisation no kwizerwa cyane;uburyo bushya bwo gushushanya, ibikoresho byo gushushanya nibikoresho byo gukora hamwe nubuhanga bwo gukora ikibaho bikomeje kugaragara.Mu myaka yashize, porogaramu zitandukanye zifashishijwe na mudasobwa (CAD) zacapishijwe porogaramu zikoresha imizunguruko zamamaye kandi zizamurwa mu nganda.Mubikorwa byabacapwe kabuhariwe, gukora imashini kandi byikora byasimbuye ibikorwa byintoki.
Uwashizeho PCB ni umunya Otirishiya Paul Eisler (Paul Eisler), mu 1936, yakoresheje bwa mbere ikibaho cyacapishijwe kuri radiyo.Mu 1943, Abanyamerika ahanini bakoresheje iryo koranabuhanga kuri radiyo ya gisirikare.Mu 1948, Amerika yemeje kumugaragaro iki gihangano cyo gukoresha ubucuruzi.Kuva hagati ya 1950, imbaho zumuzingo zacapwe zatangiye gukoreshwa cyane.Ikibaho cyumuzingo cyacapwe kigaragara mubikoresho byose bya elegitoroniki.Niba hari ibice bya elegitoronike mugikoresho runaka, byose byashyizwe kuri PCBs zingana.Igikorwa nyamukuru cya PCB nuguhuza ibice bitandukanye bya elegitoronike kumuzingo wateganijwe mbere no gukina uruhare rwo kohereza.Nibintu byingenzi bya elegitoronike ihuza ibicuruzwa bya elegitoronike kandi bizwi nka "nyina wibicuruzwa bya elegitoroniki".
