Manufacture of loaded electronic boards

NACE v2.0 Code: C26.12

About 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 creation of essential products that power our modern digital world. From smartphones and computers to industrial automation and medical equipment, loaded electronic boards are the backbone that allows these technologies to function.

Production process

The manufacture of loaded electronic boards involves several key production techniques. The process typically begins with the fabrication of the bare printed circuit board (PCB), which serves as the foundation. Electronic components, such as integrated circuits, resistors, and capacitors, are then precisely placed and soldered onto the PCB, creating the loaded electronic board. Advanced techniques like surface mount technology (SMT) and through-hole mounting are commonly used to ensure the reliable and efficient assembly of these components.

Production inputs

The production of loaded electronic boards requires a range of inputs, including raw materials like copper-clad laminates, solder, and various electronic components. Specialized machinery, such as pick-and-place machines, reflow ovens, and testing equipment, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled technicians and engineers are necessary to oversee the intricate assembly and quality control procedures.

Production outputs

The primary output of the loaded electronic boards industry is, of course, the loaded electronic boards themselves. These boards are 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 26.51 Manufacture of instruments and appliances for measuring, testing and navigation. The loaded electronic boards produced in this industry are the fundamental building blocks that enable the creation of a vast array of electronic devices and systems.
