ASSEMBLY OF PCB (PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARD)

A PCB is a printed circuit board is used in electronics to build electronic devices. A PCB serves two purposes in the construction of an electronic device; it is a place to mount the components and it provides the means of electrical connection between the components.

TYPES OF PCB

1. Single-sided PCB

2. Double-sided PCB

1. Single-sided PCB

The single-sided PCBs are mostly used in entertainment electronics where manufacturing costs have to be kept at a minimum. However, in industrial electronics also, cost factors cannot be neglected and single-sided boards should be used wherever a particular circuit can be accommodated on such boards.

To jump over conductor tracks, components have to be utilized (Fig A). If this is not feasible, jumper wires are used. The number of jumper wires on a board, however, is restricted by economic reasons. If their number is more than a few, the use of a double-sided PCB should be considered.

Advantages of single-sided PCBs include:

•    Low cost, especially for volume production;

•    Low rate of issues during PCB manufacturing process, accordingly, leading to high speed of fabrication;

•    Suitable for simple circuits.
2. Double-sided PCB
Double-sided PCBs can be made with or without plated-through holes. The production of board with plated-through holes is fairly expensive. Therefore, plated-through hole boards are only chosen where the circuit complexity and density does not leave any other choice. Even on such boards, the total number of plated-through holes, in particular of via-holes (holes utilized only for through-contact and not for component mounting), should be kept to the minimum for reasons of economy and reliability.
The cost factor for double-sided PCBs without plated-through holes is considerably lower because plating can be avoided. Through-contacts are made by soldering the component leads on both the board sides where required. Jumper wires may still be added. However, hand soldering must be applied for soldering of the component side joints.
In the layout design of such boards, solder joints on the component sides have to be kept minimum in number because the replacing of such components is extremely difficult. A typical strategy is therefore to realize the conductors as much as possible on the non-component side and to put only the remaining once on the component side. Such boards are therefore compromise between serviceability and electrical design optimum on the one hand and the cost factor on the other.

Therefore, advantages of double-layer PCBs can be summarized into the following aspects:
•    More flexibility for designers;
•    An increase of circuit density;
•    Relatively low cost;
•    Reduction of board size.
