PCB design guidelines for AssemblyWhen the term assembly comes in when addressing the printed circuit board process, we are talking about putting together the board skeleton with the necessary components. These components include; heat sinks, resistors, capacitors, transformers, connectors, enclosures, etc. It is this combination action that builds up a full PCB product. The PCB assembly is a very important consideration during the initial design stages of the product to ensure that the process will end with success.Undermining the assembly process during the design stage will end up with the likelihood of troubled assembly. You might think the board is okay through appearance but when assembly time comes, the components might not fit. This can even lead to a product that is non-functional or even with very poor performance.The assembly process is done in two stages namely prototype and production assembly. The two stages have to be considered during the design process.Prototype assemb...
