Understanding PCB Baking in the PCB Assembly Process As a professional electronic manufacturing service provider specializing in PCB assembly , we at CEN PCBA place immense importance on processes that ensure the reliability and performance of printed circuit boards (PCBs). One such critical process is PCB baking. This article delves into the intricacies of PCB baking, its necessity, and its role in delivering top-quality electronic assembly solutions. What is PCB Baking? PCB baking is a crucial step in the PCB assembly process designed to remove moisture from the printed circuit boards. Moisture can be a significant problem in PCBs, as it can become trapped within the board’s layers. When exposed to the high temperatures of soldering processes, this moisture can turn into steam, potentially causing delamination or other damage to the PCB. The effectiveness of PCB baking is influenced by the composite materials used in the board. For instance, polyi...
