Double Sided PCB Assembly
Double Sided PCB Fabrication and Assembly
Double-sided PCB fabrication and assembly represent two distinct phases in the creation of electronic devices. Fabrication focuses on creating the bare board with copper traces and necessary features, while assembly transforms this board into a functional electronic unit by adding components.
Process Flow Comparison
| Aspect | Double-Sided PCB Fabrication | Double-Sided PCB Assembly |
| Starting Material | Copper-clad laminate (CCL) | Bare manufactured PCB |
| Primary Nature | Chemical and mechanical processing | Mechanical placement and thermal processing |
| Major Process Steps | DFM check, cutting, drilling, copper plating, etching, solder masking, testing | Preparation, solder paste application, component placement, reflow soldering, inspection |
| Duration | Typically longer (multiple chemical processes) | Relatively shorter (mechanical placement) |
| Equipment | Drilling machines, plating equipment, etching tanks, screen printers | Pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens, inspection systems |
| Primary Focus | Creating conductive pathways and preparing connection points | Placing components and establishing electrical connections |
