[0049] Step S15: Establish calculation formulas for various parameters of the PCBA board, and combine the PCBA component size specifications provided in the PCBA component size specification database in step S11 to obtain parameters including solder paste printing thickness.
[0050] Step S2 specifically includes the following steps:
[0051] Step S21: Input the client's dimensions and shape requirements to obtain the PCB board thickness and shape;
[0052] Step S22: Transmit the data obtained from the calculation model to the PCB board manufacturing control terminal;

[0059] PCB manufacturing stage: By improving factory processes and controlling processes, PCB boards with qualified thickness specifications are produced. Specifications are shown in Table 1.
[0060] Table 1: PCB Thickness Specifications for Raised Boards (Unit: mm)
[0061] PCB thickness range Standard PCB product thickness PCB thickness of the pad 0~0.80 ±0.10 ±0.05 0.81~1.80 ±10% ±0.07 1.81~2.65 ±10% ±0.08 2.66~3.65 ±10% ±0.10 3.66~6.50 ±10% ±0.12

[0064] Assembly and placement stage:
[0065] By strictly controlling the stencil opening, printing press parameters, and specifying the solder paste material, precise control of solder paste thickness is achieved, avoiding uneven solder paste from affecting the thickness of the finished raised board. This results in finished IC (integrated circuit) grade components (dimensions + / -0.075mm, thickness + / -0.10mm), as shown in Table 2. Table 2: Thickness Specifications of Raised Board PCBA Components (Unit: mm)
[0066]
[0067] The technical advantages of the PCBA production management process provided by this invention are as follows:
[0068] This invention creates finished PCBA assemblies by adjusting the thickness of a portion of the PCB and according to the product's shape requirements. Secondary SMT (Surface Mount Technology) or assembly is then used to meet diverse client needs. By adding a PCB to a raised platform and electronic components, a PCBA product is formed, satisfying the client's requirements for diverse component thicknesses and shapes. This includes variations in component pin positions, covering motherboard holes on the PCB that cannot be covered by the component's shape, and allowing the electronic components and the raised platform to have different shapes, thus enabling diverse PCBA shapes. Ultimately, this results in better camera performance, more sensitive fingerprint / facial recognition unlocking, and better signal strength in end products (phones / tablets). Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, after using PCBA products, the LED signal source is closer to the housing, resulting in stronger and more sensitive signals. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, using PCBA products allows for more diverse product shapes and improves product reliability.
[0069] Automated production control ensures high efficiency and excellent dimensional control for electronic components and PCB boards, while minimizing manual labor intensity. The packaged finished products are essentially identical in specifications to the incoming IC materials. The final assembly plant can simultaneously assemble or package PCBA products with IC devices, thereby enabling changes in electronic component thickness, shape, and pin configurations. The key feature of this process is that precise calculations and scientific management, starting from the raw material preparation stage, ensure strict control and monitoring of PCBA component production. Ultimately, this allows finished PCBAs to overcome the limitations of variable thickness and shape for components such as LEDs, sensors, and IR sensors, thus meeting the functional requirements of mobile phones and tablets.
[0070] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
