How to distinguish the relationship between PCBA and PCB
I believe that many people are not unfamiliar with the electronic industry-related terms such as PCB circuit board and SMT patch processing. These are often heard in daily life, but many people do not know much about PCBA and often confuse it with PCB. So what is PCBA? What is the difference between PCBA and PCB? Let's take a look at the large-scale chip processing factory in Shenzhen.

Introduction to PCBA:

PCBA is the abbreviation of Printed Circuit Board + Assembly in English, which means that the empty PCB board passes through the SMT assembly, and then passes through the entire manufacturing process of the DIP plug-in, referred to as PCBA.

The difference between PCBA and PCB:

From the above introduction, we can know that PCBA generally refers to a processing process, which can also be understood as a finished circuit board, that is, PCBA can be counted after all the processes on the PCB board are completed. The PCB refers to an empty printed circuit board with no parts on it.

With the high-speed, high-performance, and ultra-miniaturization of electronic equipment, packaging technology has achieved rapid development. Chip size packages CSP and BGA packages are developing towards multiple lead terminals and narrow lead pitch, and bare chip (Bare Chip) packages have also been put into practical use. Due to the advancement of these packaging technologies, new requirements are also put forward for the Printed Wiring Board (PCB) (to adapt to high-density packaging and high-speed requirements).

In the past, electronic product manufacturers had to complete the production of a complete circuit board, usually after purchasing the PCB first, and then contacting the chip manufacturer for processing, the process was very troublesome and costly. Nowadays, many manufacturers are willing to choose PCB manufacturers to process patches at the same time as PCBs, or let patch manufacturers replace PCBs. Both methods save a lot of trouble and speed up production efficiency. PCBA manufacturers can realize these two fast and effective processing methods.

PCB procurement and patch processing are two different production methods. Many electronic manufacturers only specialize in one of them. This requires electronic product manufacturers to comprehensively consider the strength of the manufacturer when choosing a PCBA processing manufacturer, and choose rich experience and outstanding performance. Manufacturers who have completed the entire processing process.

Our Electronics Co., Ltd. is such a professional PCBA chip processing factory, which can provide PCB and SMT processing one-stop service. With more than 10 years of PCBA chip processing experience, it can provide PCBA foundry materials, PCB circuit board procurement, SMT One-stop services such as patch processing, component purchasing, post-soldering of patch plug-ins, assembly and testing, etc., save customers trouble, reduce costs, and bring better quality products.
