SysPCB to answer: What is the difference between PCB and PCBA?


Believe many people are no strangers to PCB electronics and SMT chip processing related terms in the electronics industry, these are often heard in daily life, but many people do not understand PCBA, often confused with the PCB. So what is PCBA? What is the difference between PCB and PCBA?
Let's get to know them with SYS Technology Co., Ltd.

PCB is the abbreviation of Printed Circuit Board, namely printed circuit board.

The following figure is PCB.


Bare PCB-1


PCBA is an abbreviation of Printed Circuit Board Assembly, that is, PCB + component assembly.

The following figure is PCBA.


PCBA


From the above introduction, we can know that PCB refers to an empty printed circuit board with no components on it.
PCBA refers to a process flow, which can also be understood as a finished circuit board, that is, the entire process of the PCB bare board passing through the SMT and then the DIP plug-in, referred to as PCBA.

With high speed and high performance hyper miniaturization of electronic machines, the packaging technology has made great progress. Chip size packages CSP and BGA packages have been developed with multi-lead and narrow lead pitch, and bare chip packages have also been put into practical use. As a result of these advances in packaging technology, new requirements have also been put forward for Printed Circuit Boards (adapting to high-density packaging and high speed requirements).

Former electronics product manufacturers want to finish a complete circuit board production, usually need to first purchase PCB back, then go to contact the assembly manufacturers for processing, the process is very cumbersome, cost is also a lot of. Nowadays, many manufacturers are willing to choose the PCB manufacturer to process assembly at the same time when producing the PCB, or to allow the assembly manufacturer purchase the PCB. Both of these methods save a lot of trouble and speed up the production efficiency. PCBA manufacturers can realize these two kinds of fast and effective processing methods.

PCB manufacture and assembly processing are two different production methods. Many electronics manufacturers only specialize in one of them. This requires electronic product manufacturers to consider the strength of manufacturers comprehensively when selecting PCBA processing manufacturers, choose an experienced manufacturer who can complete the entire process.

SYS Technology Co., Ltd. is such a professional PCB and PCBA processing plant, can provide one-stop service for PCB and SMT processing, has more than 10 years of PCBA processing experience, can provide PCB manufacture, component purchasing, SMT processing, DIP plug-in, assembly, testing and other one-stop services for customers to save trouble, reduce costs, bring better products.
