A lot of our customer ask this question first, so we write this simple guide for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"572\" src=\"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/PCB-VS-PCBA-1024x572.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/PCB-VS-PCBA-1024x572.png 1024w, https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/PCB-VS-PCBA-300x168.png 300w, https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/PCB-VS-PCBA-768x429.png 768w, https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/PCB-VS-PCBA-1536x858.png 1536w, https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/PCB-VS-PCBA-2048x1144.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, PCB. PCB mean bare circuit board. It only have copper line, solder mask and pads. No chip, no resistor, no capacitor on it. It can not work by itself. You can use it when you only need empty board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then PCBA. PCBA is PCB plus all components soldered on it. We do SMT placement, solder, test it. When you get PCBA, you can power it up and test your function directly. That is the ready working board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let me make it easy: PCB = empty board PCBA = board with all parts, ready to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many small startup and maker come to us, they don\u2019t know which one they should order. Some only need bare PCB for self assembly, some want turnkey PCBA service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What we can do for you: \u2705 PCB fabrication \u2705 SMT assembly, small batch welcome \u2705 BOM component sourcing \u2705 PCB copy \/ reverse engineering \u2705 Functional test, firmware program \u2705 Ship to Mexico, USA and other country, we can do DDP shipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You only need send us Gerber file and BOM list, we give you clear quote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In our next blog posts, we will talk about Gerber file check, common BOM mistake, DFM tips, NFC board design and more useful things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have a project now, feel free to contact us. We happy to check your files and answer your questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi friend, If you are new to electronics project, you p [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10,"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7\/revisions\/10"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pcbworldlink.com\/blog\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
