1. Introduction to PCBA Production Process

When it comes to PCB, we are all very familiar with the circuit boards or circuit boards that we often touch. So what is PCBA? Simply put PCBA is PCB after SMT mounting, DIP plug-in and other electronic components assembly, after testing, to form a finished product with certain functions. Xinchenger Electronics take you to understand from PCB to PCBA production process.

a. PCB Board

First, we have to produce the PCB board, so that the made board is just an empty board.

b. Material Inventory

Organize the BOM list, as the PCBA board requires the use of material components and other inventory for preparation.

c. SMT Mounting

Electronic components mounted on the surface of the PCB board. Mainly includes paste, patch, reflow soldering.

d. Optical Inspection

Through automatic optical inspection, the camera scans the PCB board, and then after image processing, checks whether there is any error in PCB board welding such as mounting, shifting, wrong foot, missing parts, and so on.

e. ICT Inspection

Through the automatic in-line tester, check the production process, such as component insertion error, mounting reverse, false soldering, short circuit and other problems.

f. DIP Plug-in

DIP package components are inserted into the corresponding position on the PCB board.

g. Wave Soldering

After wave soldering, so that the plug-in pins are fixed on the pad, remove the excess pins, clean off the wave soldering traces.

2. The Processing Procedures of PCBA Manufacturer

PCBA is a way of printed circuit board assembly, which involves the process of mounting, soldering and testing of electronic components. In this era of rapid development, it is crucial to choose a reliable PCBA manufacturer. So, how much do you know about the processing flow of PCBA manufacturer?

A. First of all, the processing flow of PCBA manufacturer can be divided into the following steps.

  1. Component procurement, manufacturers will be based on the product needs and specifications to purchase a variety of electronic components, to ensure that the quality and performance of components meet the requirements.
  2. SMT mounting, that is, the components are accurately attached to the printed circuit board, which requires high-precision equipment and careful operation.
  3. Soldering process, which is performed by hot air or hot plate to firmly connect the components to the circuit board.
  4. AOI inspection, utilizing automatic optical inspection equipment to inspect the placement and soldering process to ensure that quality issues are detected and resolved in a timely manner.
  5. Functional testing, inserting the PCBA into the test equipment for comprehensive testing of electrical performance and functionality.

B. In addition, PCBA manufacturers also need to strictly control all aspects of the entire process to ensure product quality and delivery time.

  1. Manufacturers need to establish a comprehensive quality management system, including the inspection and selection of raw materials, production process control and monitoring, as well as the final inspection and testing of finished products.
  2. Manufacturers need to strengthen cooperation and communication with raw material suppliers to ensure the stability and reliability of the supply chain.
  3. Manufacturers also need to do a good job of logistics management, rationalize the production schedule to ensure on-time delivery of products.

For the PCBA manufacturer’s processing process, we need to understand the component procurement, SMT mounting, soldering process, AOI inspection and functional testing process steps, and at the same time need to pay attention to the manufacturer’s quality management system and logistics management capabilities.
