What is DBK file?
The DBK file extension is used for backups of schematics created with OrCAD capture. It is a proprietary electronic design automation (EDA) software developed by Cadence Design Systems. OrCAD is used by electrical engineers and system designers to prototype their projects and designs. The schematic capture portion of the program is used to create the visual diagrams of the electrical design, from which the PCB layouts are developed. The DBK file serves as a backup copy of these schematics. [ ⏩ ] DBK file extension

How to convert the file from DBK to VCARD?
To successfully convert the DBK file to VCARD, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DBK). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case VCARD (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than VCARD).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DBK to VCARD. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting DBK files to VCARD files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension VCARD, while before this step we had the DBK file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new VCARD file, or not.
