Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Assembly

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Assembly involves attaching electronic components, such as resistors, capacitors, and chips, onto a flat, insulated board that has conductive pathways (traces). This process connects the components electrically and mechanically, creating a functional electronic circuit. Assembly methods include placing components manually or via automated machinery like pick-and-place machines, followed by soldering—either through traditional melting of solder or via reflow ovens—to secure everything in place. PCB assembly is essential in manufacturing electronic devices, ensuring reliable operation through precise placement and secure connections of all components on the board.
