Some of you may have heard the term PCB assembly and wondered what exactly that is. This post is meant to put some light on the subject. The entire process of manufacturing electronic devices is a long and complex one.  The commencing point of all electronics is in the material like silicon or any other semiconductor. Through various long and costly clean room procedures, these are transformed into electronic microprocessors and chips.  These chips can’t do anything on their own, and requirement to be incorporated on a PCB to be able to do something eventually.  Well, there are many companies that design these chips and sell final products. Nonetheless, these companies can’t afford to buy all the SMT AOI equipments necessary to assemble their chips onto PCBs to devise their final product.  This is what PCB companies are there for. These companies have many surface mount assembly lines, and provide PCB assembly services to other companies who are not interested in doing this on their o
