Shenzhen Yideyi Technology Co., Ltd is a professional PCB manufacturer, which is located in Shenzhen, China. After many years development, it has become a company which integrates research & development, reverse engineering,manufacture, SMT and sales.

PCB Reverse Engineering (or PCB clone, PCB Copy) is the processes of Gerber files re-generation, BOM re-generation, Schematic re-generation and Chip Program Extract from the PCBA (PCB assembly) sample provided by the customer, and manufacturing the new PCBA Prototype with the same function and appearance.

PCB reverse engineering is a reverse research technology that uses a series of reverse research techniques to obtain a PCB design, circuit schematic and a BOM for an existing & matual electronic design. Future electronic product updates may be faster.

We have the international advanced scanning equipment, a professional senior PCB copy engineer team. So we are in a position to master the structure and mode of circuit board, and clone the circuit board which is 100% same as original sample. At the same time, we also can make a little change of circuit board according to customer’s demand to meet customer requirements.

What we need from customer before pcb clone, pcb board, pcb copy :

circuit board clone: 1 piece of PCB sample

assembled PCB clone: 2 pieces PCBA sample in case of Chip-Decoding

What we offer after pcb clone:

GERBER file,

BOM list,

Electrical diagram,

Samples

How PCB Reverse Engineering Would Help PCB Design & Development?

PCB reverse engineering is a reverse research technology that uses a series of reverse research techniques to obtain a PCB design, circuit schematic and a BOM for an existing & matual electronic design. A new product development that used to take two or three years to develop, now through reverse engineering technolgy, may take only a few months to complete.

In the past decade, the development of electronic technology has been changing with each passing day, and many electronic products have been upgraded at least once a year. Future electronic product updates may be faster. Many electronics engineers have felt that simply using conventional R&D methods can no longer meet the fast steps of modern electronic product replacement, and since there have been millions of matual design in the market, reverse engineering becomes an approach to fast adopt the market pace and catch up the top runners.

PCB Assembly Manufacturing Procedures:

Program Management

PCB Files → DCC → Program Organizing → Optimization → Checking

SMT Management

PCB Loader → Screen Printer → Checking → SMD Placement → Checking → Air Reflow → Vision Inspection → AOI → Keeping

PCBA Management

THT→Soldering Wave (Manual Welding) → Vision Inspection → ICT → Flash → FCT → Checking → Package → Shipment

Each board is carefully examined by our dedicated inspection team using AOI and high magnification viewers.

Using our X-Ray machine, we test PCBs to component level and all wiring is fully inspected and tested. Flash

testing and earth bonding tests can also be undertaken where required
