What is the difference between a circuit board and a circuit board? In daily life, many people confuse circuit boards with circuit boards. In fact, the difference between the two is quite significant. Generally speaking, a circuit board refers to a bare PCB board, which is a printed board without any components on it. A circuit board refers to a printed board that has already installed electronic components and can achieve normal functions. It can also be understood as the difference between a substrate and a finished board!

  It is generally referred to as a printed circuit board (PCB), and its full English name is Printed Circuit Board. The production process of a PCB is quite complex, involving dozens of processes such as inner layer, pressing, punching, etc. Generally classified based on the number of layers and their characteristics. According to the number of layers, it can be divided into single board, double board, and multi-layer board. Among them, a single panel refers to a circuit board with wires concentrated on one side, a double panel refers to a circuit board with wires covered on both sides, and a double panel refers to a circuit board with wires on both sides or more;

  According to the characteristics of circuit boards, they can be divided into three key types: flexible board, rigid board, and soft hard bonding board. The flexible board, abbreviated as FPC, is mainly made of flexible substrate materials such as polyester film, and has the characteristics of high installation density, light weight, and bending. The rigid board is generally referred to as PCB, which is made of rigid substrate materials such as copper-clad laminates and is currently the most widely used. The soft hard bonding board is also known as FPCB, which is made by pressing soft and hard boards together, taking into account the characteristics of PCB and FPC.
    A circuit boardrefers to an electronic component circuit board with SMT surface mount or DIP plug-in inserted, which can achieve normal product functions. It is also known as an electronic component circuit board PCBA, which stands for Printed Circuit Board Assembly in English. There are generally two production processes for circuit boards. One is SMT surface mount assembly, which is a DIP plug-in assembly process. The two production processes can also be combined and applied. Well, that's the difference between circuit boards and circuit boards.
