PCB Assembly

PCB Assembly UK

PCB assembly (PCBA) is the manufacturing process of creating a printed circuit board with components mounted. In other words, in assembly the bare board is stuffed with electronic components to form a functional printed circuit assembly. The traces (copper lines on bare board) electrically link connectors and components to each other.

For the electronic circuit assembly process, the location and orientation of each component must be known. This can easily be extracted from the Gerber file. The netlist and component names facilitate the communication between the parties involved in design and fabrication.

PCBA services – Electronics Assembly Services

There are various ways to create PCB assemblies. The successful operation of the electronic devices depends on a well-crafted PCB․

The electronic machines can be assembled with the printed circuit boards in the following ways:

  • Surface Mount Assembly (SMT) – this way is currently being widely used by many PCBA manufacturers. Metal tabs components can be easily soldered to the PCBs during this process. The peculiarity of this technique lies in higher circuit densities when the components are fixed at both sides of the PCBs with effective soldering methods
  • The electro-mechanical assembly (box-build assembly) – this method uses components like custom metalwork, wire harnesses, cable assembly, looms, and molded plastics in order to assemble PCB with the electronic components.
  • Through Hole Technology Mounting (THT) – the process includes components with leads attached to them. Printed circuit boards used for plated through-hole technology come with drilled holes.

So, effective and accurate Printed circuit board assembly ensures that the electronic devices operate with absolute precision and productivity.
