Is Silkscreen Position Number Necessary on PCB? Many Products Actually Do Not Have It!

Is Silkscreen Position Number Necessary on PCB? Many Products Actually Do Not Have It!

Is it possible not to place silkscreen position numbers on a PCB? The silkscreen position number is mainly for convenience during manual soldering or prototype debugging stages, as it visually indicates the component positions, facilitating assembly, maintenance, and testing, primarily used in the prototype phase. It is indeed possible to manage without position numbers when … Read more
