Why are PCB board mostly green
For PCB boards, common PCB production colors are red, yellow, green, blue, and black colors. But green solder mask are most commonly used. So people may have this question: Why are green mostly used ? This depends on the PCB designer needs to make. And, since there are so many colors, why are most of PCBs still green solder mask? As per Professional PCB manufacturer said: Green solder mask is the most widely used and the longest in history. And it is also the cheapest in the current market. Usually, during the process of PCB production , there are several processes need to be done in the yellow light room, while the effect of green solder mask in the yellow light room is better than other colors. When soldering components in SMT, the PCB production need pass many process. These processes require optical positioning and calibration, where the green background color is better for instrument identification. Therefore, most PCB manufacturers choose green solder mas
