Mobile Phone Printed Circuit Boards

The digital revolution has seen the use of computers, mobile phones, the Internet, tablets and other electronic devices soar to record levels. The emergence of these everyday items has led to a rise in demand for critical behind-the-scenes mobile phone components: mobile phone printed circuit boards.

What is a mobile phone printed circuit board?

A printed circuit board is an electronic circuit made up of several electronic components for a mobile phone. It is made of fiberglass and copper tracks. The components are soldered down to keep them in place. Almost every electronic device will contain a printed circuit board as either single, double or multi-layered.

Technological advances in printed circuit board design and manufacturing have enabled more and more complex technology to become smaller and smaller over time. Technology that might have filled a whole room a few decades ago can now fit neatly into the palm of a hand. Every mobile phone manufacturer uses mobile phone printed circuit boards.

Different brands will have slightly different circuit boards and newer handsets may have extra parts and components that previous versions didn't. They may also have a different shape from handset to handset adapting to the overall design of the phone. Be sure to get a circuit board that is compatible with your device.

What is a mobile phone printed circuit board used for?

The printed circuit board lies at the heart of any mobile phone. Essentially, it's the bit that makes the device work! That means, if it goes wrong, the device stops working. If a mobile phone's printed circuit board gets dusty or if it's corroded, water damaged, bent or broken, users can experience a range of different problems.

Replacing mobile phone printed circuit boards

In many instances, mobile phone faults such as a blocked sim, unresponsive touch screens and overheating can be addressed by replacing the mobile phone printed circuit board. In some cases, replacing the integrated circuit (IC) will resolve problems relating to charging.
