Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Assembly

Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Assembly is the process of mounting electronic components on a PCB. A PCB is a board that has copper traces that connect different points together and provide mechanical support for the components. PCB Assembly involves applying solder paste, placing components, inspection of solder joints, and testing the functionality of the circuit.
