Printed circuit soldermask
of a PCB can have a coating that protects the copper from corrosion and reduces the chances of solder shorting between traces or Manufacturing PCB Capability unwanted electrical contact with possible loose wires. For its function of helping to prevent solder shorts, the coating is called a solder mask. Soldermask
Printed circuit board assembly
soldered on the same side of the board. A board can use both methods for soldering components. Today PCBs with components mounted only through holes are now less common. Capability Manufacturing PCB Surface mount is used for components like transistors, diodes, IC chips, resistors and capacitors. Through-hole mounting can be
Printed circuit board silkscreen
usually printed with a non-conductive permanent epoxy ink. The color is usually white, although other colors are available: Capability PCB Manufacturing yellow, black, blue, red. Screen printing is used to render useful information on the PCB board that can help users during assembly. It is used to mark component values, part numbers, test points, polarity, etc. Screen
