 NB_MB Part Number Rule

Model clarification: Part Number of BOM main part.

PCBA name: the abbreviation of PCBA, for example: MAIN BOARD is MB for shortINVERTER BOARD is IN etc.
PCB code: theres some PCB board only different with the component. For differentiating it, we code it
with 01,02,,98,99.
Customer type: according to the requirement from different customers, we code PCB board with 1289
chronologically. And 0 means its Generic and produced at first.
PCB revision: the label of PCB blank board is 0,1,2,,8,9. (Comparing to the revision in specification, we have to
reference RD
RDss definition
definition. For example
example, the M/B revision of M8A model
model, 0 is PCB R2.00,
R2 00 1 is PCB R2.10,
R2 10
2 is PCB R2.20, 3 is PCB R2.20, 4 is PCB R2.30etc.)
PCBA revision: these three number mean different revisions after PCBA being rework. And they are defined by project
department and informed to engineers.
PS1Part Number starting with 60 shows the detail revision of PCB and the revision engraved on blank PCB board.
PS2Part Number
N mber starting with
ith 70 sho
shows s the same meanings with

60, and it sho
should
ld keep pace with
ith 60 too.
too
The only one difference between them is 60 has PCBA revision.
