The seven basic markets for printed circuit boards are described below.
• Automotive: engine and drive performance, convenience and safety, entertainment (radios), and other applications for diagnostics display and security.
• Communication: mobile radio, touch tone phones, portable communication, pagers, data transmissions, microwave relay, telecommunications and telephone switching equipment, and navigation instruments
• Consumer Electronics: watches, clocks, portable calculators, musical instruments, electronic games, large appliances, microwave ovens, pinball/arcade games, television, home entertainment, video recorders, and smoke and intrusion detection systems.
• Computer/Business Equipment: mainframe computers, mini computers, broad level processors, add-on memory, input/output devices, terminals, printers, copy machines, facsimile machines, word processors, cash registers, teaching machines, gas pumps, and taxi meters.
• Government/Military/Aerospace: radar, guidance and control systems, communication and navigation, electronic warfare, ground support, sonar ordinance, missiles, and satellite and related systems.
• Industrial Electronics: machine and process control, production test and measurement, material handling, machining equipment, pollution, energy, and safety equipment, numerical controls, power controls, sensors, and weighing equipment.
• Instrumentation: test and measurement equipment, medical instruments and medical testers, analytical, nuclear, lasers, scientific instruments, and implant devices.
Computers are the major U.S. market for PCBs, with communications being the second largest application market. The Institute for Interconnecting and Packaging Electronic Circuits (IPC) indicates that nearly 39 percent of printed circuit boards produced in 1993 were used by the computer market, while 22 percent were used by the communication industry.
