What is the Difference Between PCBA and PCB?

For PCB, I believe you are already familiar with it, but you may have heard less about pcba, and pcba and PCB can be easily confused, so what is the difference between pcba and pcb? Ucreate will let you know about it.

PCB

PCB is made of electronic printing technology, so it is called printed circuit board. It is an important electronic component in the electronics industry and a support for electronic components.

PCBA

The full name of PCBA is Printed Circuit Board +Assembly, that is, the PCB empty board is loaded by SMT, and then goes through the entire process of DIP plug-in.

PCBA is the finished product of the PCB board. After some parts are put together on the PCB, the PCBA is made. PCBA is a processing process and can also be understood as a finished circuit board.

The Difference Between PCBA and PCB

• Differential Functions

A pcb can make a program that cannot run independently become a unit that runs independently.

The excellent circuit design of pcba can achieve good circuit performance and heat dissipation performance.

• Essentially Different

PCBA generally refers to a processing process, which can also be said to be a finished circuit board, that is, the PCB is completed after processing.

A pcb is an empty printed circuit board.
