The board is then protected by applying a solder mask and surface finish (such as ENIG or HASL), while silkscreen legends are printed for component identification. Finally, strict quality assurance—including Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) and electrical testing—ensures every board meets exacting industry standards before shipment.
Understanding Copper Plating: Ensuring Connectivity and Durability in PCBs July/09/2026 Copper is the lifeblood of every printed circuit board. Without copper conductive traces carrying signals and power between components, a PCB would be nothing more than an inert piece of fiberglass. But copper on a raw board is only the starting point. What transforms a bare laminate into a functi...
