  • Abstract:
  • Printed circuit boards are the heart of electronic devices, facilitating the connection and integration of various components through soldering. These boards are designed using computer-aided design (CAD) systems, which provide the necessary layout and configuration for the PCB. To translate this design into a physical product, the CAD data needs to be transferred to a photolithographic computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) system. It's common for CAD and CAM systems to be developed by different companies, necessitating a standardized data exchange format for seamless transfer. One such format is ODB, which facilitates the smooth transition of CAD data to CAM systems. ODB has gained popularity due to its comprehensive nature and ability to encapsulate various aspects of PCB design, including component placement, routing, and manufacturing information. Once the bare PCB is manufactured, electronic components are mounted onto the board using SMT (Surface Mount Technology) placement equipment. This equipment precisely positions components onto the PCB according to the design specifications. Subsequently, the components are soldered onto the board using techniques such as wave soldering or reflow soldering, ensuring secure electrical and mechanical connections. This research indicates that the CAD-to-CAM data exchange process, coupled with precise component placement and soldering techniques, plays a crucial role in the successful realization of PCB designs and the subsequent assembly of electronic devices.
