It is typically applied as a liquid and then cured to create a durable, insulating coating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This layer ensures that solder only adheres to designated areas, such as component pads, while preventing unintentional connections that can cause electrical failures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most PCBs feature a solder mask on both sides, covering all traces except for the exposed pads where components will be soldered. The mask enhances the board\u2019s mechanical strength, providing extra durability against physical damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\"
