Learning PCB silk screen design involves how to add text, icons, logos and other information to the PCB board to facilitate assembly and identification. The following is a learning outline:

1. Understand the role and importance of PCB silk screen printing

  • Understand the role of PCB silk screen on circuit boards, such as identifying components, pin numbers, version information, etc.
  • Understanding good silkscreen design can improve board readability and assembly efficiency.

2. Learn the silk screen tools in PCB design software

  • Be familiar with the silk screen design tools in the selected PCB design software, such as text tools, graphic tools, etc.
  • Learn how to create and edit silkscreen layers in your PCB design software.

3. Add text and logo

  • Learn how to add text such as component identification, pin numbers, board revision information, and more.
  • Learn how to add logos such as company names, logos, and certification marks.

4. Optimize silk screen layout

  • Learn to properly layout the silk screen to avoid blocking important circuits, components or pads.
  • Understand design considerations such as silk screen and component spacing, font size, etc.

5. Consider manufacturing and assembly requirements

  • Consider the processing requirements of the silk screen layer during PCB manufacturing, such as minimum line width, minimum character height, etc.
  • Consider the spacing between the silk screen and components and pads to ensure that they are not affected during assembly.

6. Design rules and verification

  • Set silk screen design rules, such as minimum line width, minimum character height, spacing between silk screen layers and other layers, etc.
  • Perform design rule checks to ensure the silkscreen design meets manufacturing and assembly requirements.

7. Practical operation and project exercises

  • Practice silk screen design in actual projects and design according to actual needs.
  • Refer to and learn from excellent silk screen design cases to absorb experience and inspiration.

The above is a basic learning outline. You can further expand and study in depth according to your actual situation and personal interests. In the learning process, it is recommended to practice more and improve the quality and efficiency of silk screen design through continuous trial and adjustment.
