Functions of PCB boards in electronic products

Whether a PCB is aluminum circuit board or single-sided FR4 circuit board, there is a common name, that is printed circuit or circuit board. Then what is the PCB boards’ role in electronic products?

Functions of PCB boards in electronic products offered are:

First: to provide integrated circuits and other electronic components mounting and installation base, also the mechanical support.

Second: to ensure the quality of the electronic equipment, improve labor productivity, reduce cost, and ease of maintenance.

Third: to provide for the automatic soldering the solder pattern, provide identification characters and graphics for component insertion, inspection, maintenance.

Fourth: to achieve electrical connection and electrical insulation between integrated circuits and other electronic components and electrical connectors. Provide the desired electrical characteristics, such as characteristic impedance.

Fifth: After the electronic equipment used PCB boards as soldering base, because consistency of the same part number of PCB, thus avoiding the artificial wiring errors, and enables electronic components for automatic insertion or placement, automatic soldering, automatic detection.

In Giant computer, advanced communications sets, electronics equipment and spacecraft, as long as integrated circuits and other electronic components are used, for electrical interconnection between them, are inseparable from the PCB board. It can be said in all electronic products, especially intelligent electronic product development process, the fundamental success factor is the product of circuit board design and manufacturing technology, so PCB boards play a very important role in electronic products.
