SMT PCBA Market Overview
PCBA is the abbreviation of Printed Circuit Board Assembly. It refers to the use of SMT patches or DIP to paste components and other electronic accessories on the PCB. SMT and dip are both methods of attaching components to PCB. The difference between them is that SMT does not need to drill holes on PCB. While dip needs to infix the component pins t into the drilled hole on the PCB. The assembling requires both passive and active components. SMT PCBA (surface mounted technology) refers to the use of SMT equipment to mount s micro miniature components on PCB. Full production process of smt pcba includes PCB board orientation, solder paste printing, components mounting, reflow oven and pcba fabrication inspection.
