How to distinguish PCBA from integrated circuit
At present, the country has higher and higher requirements for environmental protection and greater efforts in link governance. This is a challenge but also an opportunity for PCB factories. If PCB factories are determined to solve the problem of environmental pollution, then FPC flexible circuit board products can be at the forefront of the market, and PCB factories can get opportunities for further development.
The Internet era has broken the traditional marketing model, and a large number of resources have been gathered together to the greatest extent through the Internet, which has also accelerated the development speed of FPC flexible circuit boards, and then as the development speed accelerates, environmental problems will continue to appear in PCB factories. In front of you. However, with the development of the Internet, environmental protection and environmental informatization have also been developed by leaps and bounds. Environmental information data centers and green electronic procurement are gradually being applied to the actual production and operation fields.
PCBA is not an integrated circuit. There is a big difference between PCBA and integrated circuit. PCBA is a motherboard with many electronic components arranged on it, while an integrated circuit is just an electronic component on the PCBA board.

1. What is PCBA
The English translation of PCBA is PCB Assembly. PCBA refers to the process of SMT chip processing and DIP plug-in processing of the bare PCB board to complete the entire process of PCB assembly. PCBA is only a semi-finished product, such as the motherboard on a computer, and usually requires packaging such as a shell to become a finished product.

Second, what is an integrated circuit

Integrated circuit, also known as chip or IC. An integrated circuit is an electronic component that contains transistors, resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc., and has the required circuit functions. It is a component on the PCBA.

Third, the difference between PCBA and integrated circuits

An integrated circuit is just an electronic component, which is distributed on the PCBA board and can only achieve a single function.
PCBA is a finished circuit board that can realize certain electrical functions. It is covered with various electronic components and can be used directly after packaging.
Generally speaking, the integrated circuit is an individual, and the PCBA is a whole and a component of the PCBA. They are not the same thing. iPCB is happy to be your business partner.
