What should I pay attention to when copying PCB?
2023/09/18

There are many attentions to copy PCB board(also called PCB clone)If you don't pay more attention, all your previous work will be wasted. Here are some matters for customers and PCB suppliers need to know for PCB board Cloning.




Customer considerations

1、The PCB required to clone should be intact and intact. If there is any damage, it may not be able to copy it or greatly increase the difficulty of copying the circuit board;

2、Provide your own PCB copying requirements, need to do BOM list and prototype or not?

3.If it is convenient, please try to provide more about the PCB information for copying, convenient for the PCB manufacturer to shorten the board copying time, to ensure the success rate of the board copying;

4. Packaging tightly when sending the original PCB board to prevent damage.



Precautions for the PCB manufacturers

1.If copying the PCB board also need to do component BOM at the same tiem, The component setting of its PCB files should be done according to the standard, otherwise the production is easy to errors only based on BOM list .

2.When dismantling the board , we must pay attention to the polarity of the components, the direction, etc., be sure not to make mistakes when reducing the board as the prototype.

3.Record the original board before copying it, this is a series of work, the front of the process is not good, directly affect the success or failure of the back project.

4.Adjust the resolution of the scanner to a relatively high level, easy to zoom in to view the details of the PCB board.

5.
Pay attention to the size of the original PCB board,as the scanner swept out of the board diagram will be different from the size of the physical board, do make sure the the diagram keep the same as the physical board, otherwise the component can not be installed, the file is invalid.

6.The tips for grinding the PCB should be noted as below:

(1)Timely scan the backup of the grinding board, for the more complex board grinding board can also be unexpected events, such as a blind buried hole mobile phone board, the board is very thin, grinding to the inside of a little do not pay attention to, wear out the board, and no remedial measures on the work is done in vain. Can scan several times to save the backup diagrams, be prepared.

(2) The insulation layer of the PCB board is very thin, so we need to choose the grinding board material, grasp the strength.

7. Some PCB files cannot add network must have reason, such as do components encapsulation, or do not standard, especially there are a lot of copying the PCB process operation method, to understand a scientific process is produced, the diversification of diversification finally to institutionalization, standardization of the importance of the success of a board need not say more.

Common problems of improper copying circuit board

1.The PCB file is not on the original board.

2.Compared with the original PCB board, PCB drawings do small.

3.Failure to remedy after wear.

4. PCB file cannot add network etc.


Most people may be familiar with the copying process. If the PCB cloning work is done step by step according to the copying process, there will be less mistakes.


What I want to say is that copying circuit board is a part of the process of producing a product, and the work quality of the front and back has a great impact on it, especially the complex board column should pay attention to.
