The PCB, or printed circuit board, is the central element in every electronic system. The board is the base on which the entire circuit is mounted, whether it is surface mounting or perforated board. These boards are meticulously designed to be efficient and compact, planned for every circuit individually.
The PCB Assembly Design Process
Different printed circuit board assemblies may contrast in certain nuances but the main PCB assembly design steps are common for all of them. The physical manufacturing part will involve laser cutting/drilling, CNC machining, etching, plating and optical inspection. Then there are testing methods for the PCB and its electrical components.
This is all preceded by the design part. Here are its stages.
Step One: Digitally Designing the PCB
In the old days before modern imaging/design software was available, the PCB architecture was simply drawn on paper. Modern PCB assembly design programs have a pre-made library of components used in printed circuit board assemblies which the designer puts in place.
