PCB Tech - Quickly recognize the difference between PCB and PCBA

Some people who are new to the electronics manufacturing industry may not be very clear about PCBA and PCB, or they may confuse the two. When I first came into contact with the electronics industry, I also encountered this problem. In order for everyone to identify them quickly and reduce unnecessary troubles, the next editor will introduce the difference between PCB and PCBA.

One, recognize the PCB

PCB has many names, which can be called circuit board, circuit board, printed circuit board, etc. It is an important electronic component used to support electronic components and realize the connection of electronic components.

Second, recognize PCBA

PCBA is the abbreviation of Printed Cirruit Board Assembly in English, but in foreign countries, PCBA is generally translated into PCB Assembly. It is to form a finished product, referred to as PCBA, through the process of SMT patch, DIP plug-in and testing, etc. of the empty PCB board.

Third, the difference between PCBA and PCB

PCB is an empty board with nothing on the surface of the board; while PCBA is processed on an empty PCB, where resistors, capacitors, chips and other components are installed to form a board with certain functions. The core parts of all electronic products are It is composed of PCBA.

The difference between PCBA and PCB is introduced here, I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
