What is the Difference between PCBA and SMT

      Perhaps, those who do not have a deep understanding of the PCB industry do not know the difference between PCBA and SMT. So, this article will takes you through the differences between them.

 

 

 

PCBA and SMT belong to the inclusion relationship. Among them, PCBA refers to the entire process technology from PCB to SMT assembly or DIP, and SMT is only an assembly process technology in the PCBA processing process. Therefore, it can be said that PCBA includes SMT, and then let us take a closer look.

 

 

1. SMT

SMT, or Surface Mount Technology, is a mounting technology of electronic components. Compared with traditional contact pin and socket connection method, SMT can directly install components on the surface of PCB, and connect the components to the PCB through welding and other processes. First, put the components on the corresponding positions of the PCB, and then the pins of components are connected to the pads or solder balls of the PCB by a welding machine or manual welding. In addition, SMT technology can realize high-density component mounting, making the circuit board smaller in size, higher in reliability, and higher in manufacturing efficiency.

 

 

2. PCBA

PCBA, or Printed Circuit Board Assembly, is a combination of SMT technology and other assembly technologies to mount electronic components on the PCB, and perform a series of processes such as welding and testing, and finally form a complete electronic product. First, SMT technology is used to mount the patch components on the PCB, and then DIP technology is used to mount the pin or socket-connected components on the PCB. Then, through welding, testing and other technological processes, a complete electronic product is finally formed.

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of the OSP Technology

图片
     With the continuous development of the electronics industry, there are more and more PCB surface treatment technologies, and each technology has its own merits. OSP is a commonly used surface treatment technology process, what are its advantages and disadvantages?       Compared with other surface treatment technologies, OSP is somewhat different.  It uses a chemical method to produce an organic film on the clean bare copper surface, which acts as a barrier between the copper and the air.   OSP is organic, not  metallic,   and its cost is lower than most surface treatment technologies.     Advantages: With this organic film, it can resist the attack of moisture in the air without being oxidized before welding,  can withstand the test of high temperature, maintain good activity, and has a good tinning ability.  This layer of organic film will not cause damage to the sheet material. It can be easily removed by the solder resist during soldering. It can solder the copper wire and the

What PCBA Problems Can AOI Inspect

图片
        With the development of science and technology, the volume of PCBA is getting smaller and more precise, and some defects in processing cannot be distinguished with the naked eye, so AOI has appeared.  So what PCBA problems can AOI inspect?   The working principle of AOI is to first collect and input parameters such as images, component positions, solder joints and other parameters of the good-quality board.   During the inspection, the instrument automatically scans the circuit board and automatically captures the image, and then compares the collected data with the pre-entered parameters to determine whether the characteristics of solder joints, components and other aspects are consistent. If the data is inconsistent, the d efect  will be flagged through the display for maintenance personnel to repair.     AOI is mainly used to inspect solder paste printing, component placement and soldering. For example: too much or too little solder paste,   solder paste printing offset;  co

  SHENZHEN HOYOGO ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. specializes in providing overall PCBA electronics manufacturing services, and can also provide customers with a full range of value-added services: including SMT assembly, PCB program development, schematic design, PCB layout and routing, Bom list matching, component procurement and other services. Do you know the role of shield cover in PCB design? What is a Shield Cover? The shield cover is an alloy metal cover, which is a vital component to reduce the radiation of the display. It is used in MID or VR products, which can effectively reduce the mutual interference between modules. It is common in the isolation between the main control function module and the power module and the Wifi module. The  P urpose of  S hield  Cover   C lip Generally, there are products that use wireless communication, and shield frames are usually designed on the circuit board to isolate electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, to make the shield frame fun
