What PCBA?
PCBA(PCB+ASSEMBLY) = PCB.Various assembled assembly of electronic components on a circuit board through the surface of the packaging process.The next step is the assembly of the box. PCBs will be assembled together with the shell to form a complete product.That is to say, through SMT PCB board is empty, and then through a plug-in DIP process, referred to as PCBA.This is a common way to write in China, while in Europe and the United States, the standard way of writing is PCB'A, added point.PCBA PCB with a slant is attached.

What is the difference between PCB and PCBA?
