PCB assembly

Abstract

Discusses the manufacturing technology associated with the assembly of printed circuit boards [PCBs] covering photolithography, etching, manual assembly of PCBs and the soldering methods involved. Describes how all the stages of PCB assembly can be automated and also looks at how the boards are cleaned and tested. Concludes that many factors need to be taken into account when deciding which method of manufacturing printed circuits would be best suited to a company’s requirements.
