The difference between PCB and PCBA

For those who are new to the electronics industry, all kinds of names and words are very troublesome. The following AiXun Precision Soldering will introduce to you what PCBA means, and then introduce the difference between PCBA and PCB in detail.

1. First of all, we will introduce to you what PCBA means

PCBA is the abbreviation of Printed Circuit Board +Assembly. That is to say, the empty PCB board goes through the SMT upper part, and then goes through the whole process of DIP plug-in, referred to as PCBA.

2. What does PCB mean?

The full name of PCB is printed circuit board. Also known as printed circuit board, , often using the English abbreviation PCB (Printed circuit board), which is an important electronic component, a support and connection for electronic components. provider. Because it is made using electronic printing techniques, so it is called a "printed" circuit board.

3. What exactly is PCB soldering?

If you never knew, well, soldering is the process of joining two or more items by melting and placing filler metal, which is solder into a joint.

Also, soldering on a PCB will actually result in some components being mounted on the board. Note that the tip of the soldering iron is usually used to heat the solder and allow it to flow across the part.

Additionally, the solder will stick to the tip to help transfer heat and raise the temperature of the metal part to the melting point of the solder. Also, this will allow the component to stick well to the PCB.

Moreover, there are many types of PCB soldering tools, you can directly use AiXun precision soldering station, whether you are a novice or a professional, it can meet your daily work needs.

4. PCB vs PCBA - What's the Difference?

I believe that if you see the introduction of PCBA and PCB above, you should clearly know the difference between them.

PCB refers to circuit board, while PCBA refers to circuit board plug-in assembly, SMT process. The simple distinction is that PCBA is a finished board, and PCB is a bare board.

PCB is called "printed circuit board". It is made of epoxy glass resin material. It is divided into 4, 6, and 8-layer boards according to the number of signal layers, and 4- and 6-layer boards are the most common. SMD components such as chips are attached to the PCB.

PCBA may be understood as a finished circuit board, that is, PCBA can only be counted after the processes on the circuit board are completed.

PCBA=Printed Circuit Board +Assembly. That is to say, the empty PCB board goes through the SMT upper part, and then goes through the whole process of DIP plug-in, referred to as PCBA.

PCB, the abbreviation of printed circuit board. Usually on the insulating material, according to the predetermined design, the conductive pattern made of printed circuit, printed component or a combination of the two is called printed circuit. The conductive pattern that provides electrical connection between components on an insulating substrate is called a printed circuit. In this way, the finished board of printed circuit or printed circuit is called printed circuit board, also known as printed board or printed circuit board. There are no parts on the standard PCB, and it is often called "Printed Wiring Board (PWB)".
