* Trace: the copper wires that connect different electrical components on the PCB.
* Trace: the copper wires that connect different electrical components on the PCB.
* Via: A hole in the PCB that electrically connects through the board. The copper conductive part is inside the PCB. This moves the copper track to another layer in the PCB and prevent two nets from overlapping on the same layer.

* Pads: metal regions needed to electrically connect components on the board with the inner traces and wirings.
* Surface-mount pads: pads that only exist on the surface of a layer. They do not cut through the board. Used for surface-mount devices/technology (SMD/SMT). Usually harder for soldering but required for most chips and smaller electrical components.
* Through-hole pads: pads that cut through the board. Used for through-hole technology (THT). Usually easier for soldering.
