Manufacture of loaded electronic boards

NACE code 26.12 covers the manufacture of loaded electronic boards, a critical component in the production of a wide range of electronic devices. This industry plays a vital role in the broader electronics and technology sectors, enabling the development and assembly of complex electronic systems used across numerous industries, from consumer electronics to industrial automation and telecommunications.

The manufacture of loaded electronic boards involves several key production steps. First, the base board, typically made of fiberglass or other insulating materials, is prepared. Electronic components, such as integrated circuits, resistors, and capacitors, are then precisely placed and soldered onto the board. This process may involve the use of automated pick-and-place machines and reflow soldering techniques to ensure consistent and reliable connections. Finally, the assembled board undergoes testing and quality control measures before being packaged and shipped to customers.

The main inputs required for the manufacture of loaded electronic boards include the base board materials, electronic components (e.g., integrated circuits, resistors, capacitors), solder, and specialized production equipment such as pick-and-place machines and reflow ovens. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce capable of precise component placement and soldering, as well as quality control and testing procedures.

The primary output of the NACE code 26.12 industry is the loaded electronic board, which is then consumed by a wide range of other industries, including 26.20 Manufacture of computers and peripheral equipment, 26.30 Manufacture of communication equipment, and 27.90 Manufacture of other electrical equipment. These loaded boards are essential components in the production of a diverse array of electronic devices, from personal computers and smartphones to industrial control systems and telecommunications infrastructure.
