How do PCB Manufacturer Trace Each Production?
When client complaint happens, the PCB manufacturer needs to find out the root cause of the problem and prevent it from happening again. However, how to distinguish the defect board from specific production will be essential.
In order to trace each production, the PCB manufacturer will put Date Code and its LOGO on the PCB board. Date code will show when the PCB board is produced. And the manufacturer’s logo will show which PCB manufacturer produces the PCB board. For example, Date code 2316 means the PCB board is produced on the 16th weeks of year 2023. And below “EP AB 94V-0” is the manufacturer’s logo. Once the PCB manufacturer sees its logo and Date code, they could trace the PCB board and start the root cause analysis.
