PCB-Assembly

  In the electronic manufacturing industry, PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) serves as a crucial link connecting electronic components and realizing circuit functions, playing an indispensable role. This article will detail the basic concepts, manufacturing processes, classifications, applications, and future development trends of PCBA to help readers gain a comprehensive understanding of this important technology. I. Basic Concepts of PCBA PCBA, or Printed Circuit Board Assembly, refers to the process of mounting electronic components (such as Surface Mount Technology (SMT) components and Dual In-line Package (DIP) through-hole components) onto a Printed Circuit Board (PCB) and forming a complete circuit system through processes like soldering. This process covers multiple links including component procurement, PCB fabrication, SMT assembly, DIP insertion, PCBA testing, and finished product assembly. PCBA can be understood as a finished circuit board; only after all processes...

  In the field of electronic manufacturing, SMT (Surface Mount Technology) assembly has become an indispensable process. However, with the intensification of market competition, how to effectively control SMT assembly costs while improving production efficiency has become a key focus for numerous enterprises. This article explores approaches to achieving this goal from multiple perspectives. I. Optimize Production Processes and Equipment Configuration Optimizing production processes is crucial for reducing SMT assembly costs. Adopt streamlined design to ensure rational production line layout and smooth material flow, minimizing unnecessary handling and waiting time. Configure equipment such as placement machines and reflow ovens based on production needs to eliminate bottlenecks and boost efficiency. Conduct regular equipment maintenance to keep machines in good condition, reducing downtime and repair costs caused by malfunctions. II. Strengthen Raw Material Cost Control Raw materi...

  PCB materials are classified by brand and quality level from lowest to highest as follows: 94HB － 94V0 － 22F － CEM-1 － CEM-3 － FR-4.Detailed parameters and applications are as follows: 94HB: Ordinary paper-based board, non-flame retardant (the lowest-grade material). It can be die-punched and cannot be used for power supply boards. 94V0: Flame-retardant paper-based board (can be die-punched). 22F: Single-sided semi-glass fiber board (can be die-punched). CEM-1: Single-sided glass fiber board (must be computer-drilled, cannot be die-punched). CEM-3: Double-sided semi-glass fiber board (the lowest-grade material for double-sided boards except double-sided paper-based boards). It can be used for simple double-sided boards and is 5~10 yuan per square meter cheaper than FR-4. FR-4: Double-sided glass fiber board. Its flame-retardant grades are divided into four categories: 94V0 － V-1 － V-2 － 94HB. Prepreg: 1080 = 0.0712mm, 2116 = 0.1143mm, 7628 = 0.1778mm. Both FR4 and CEM-3 refer to ...

  What are the benefits of using precious metals such as gold and silver on PCBs? The color has been clearly explained. Now let’s talk about the precious metals on the PCB. Some manufacturers, when promoting their products, will specifically mention that their products adopt special processes such as gold plating or silver plating. So, what are the uses of these processes? The surface of a PCB needs to have components soldered onto it, which requires a portion of the copper layer to be exposed for soldering. These exposed copper layers are called pads, and they are usually rectangular or circular in shape, with a very small area. We know that the copper used in PCBs is highly prone to oxidation. Therefore, after applying soldering resist paint, the only thing exposed to the air is the copper on the pads. If the copper on the pads is oxidized, not only is it difficult to solder, but the resistivity also increases significantly, seriously affecting the performance of the final produc...
