Printed circuit board assembly
assembly (PCBA). In informal usage, the term "printed circuit board" most commonly means "printed circuit assembly" (with components). Components are generally soldered to the PCB both to connect them electrically and to fix them mechanically. Printed circuit boards are used in almost all electronic products and some electrical products. plantare circuit imprimat Currently,
Printed circuit soldermask
solder shorting between traces or unwanted electrical contact with possible loose wires. For its function of helping to prevent solder shorts, the coating is called a solder mask. Soldermask is generally circuit plantare imprimat green in color but can have different colors: green, red, blue, white, black. Only the outer layers need to be covered with
