Printed circuit boards are essential for the electrical connection and mechanical support of electronic components, which is why it’s so important for any mistakes in the PCB to be found in the prototype circuit board. During manufacturing and the development of the prototype circuit board, malfunctions can be built into the board by mistake.
Fortunately, because of the nature of PCBs, these malfunctions are easily repairable. However, to help prevent these types of malfunctions from occurring in PCB manufacturing, consider the following common malfunctions found in prototype PCB assembly.
