How about PCB manufacturing terms?
Hi! I need help understanding all the terms about PCB manufacturing... Is that google search often throws me to manufacturers but not to any definition. So I hope this post helps others in the future. This example comes from
Minimum passive component size 0201
* what does that unit refer to? is it some standard?
Minimum pitch size on BGA components 0.4 mm
* what is a BGA component?
Parts procurement Kitted or turnkey
* what is procurement, what is kitted and what is turnkey?
Solder types Tin/lead reflow or lead free RoHS compliant reflow
* I guess that both solder tipes are general purpose, but one is more ecological. Is that right?
Conformal coating Yes
* what is conformal coating?
Stainless solder steel stencil Frameless or framed.
* is this the stencil used to flow solder? Is it made of steel?! What is the frame feature for?
Functional test after assembly Yes. Need customer to send over test firxture or test design.
* where can you learn how to set up these tests?
I know these are a lot questions, I guess that for someone who studied engineering may be obvious, but all these terms are completely unknown to me; so thanks in advance for your help!
