PCB抄板，也被称为电路板抄板、电路板克隆、电路板复制、PCB克隆、PCB逆向设计或PCB反向研发。关于PCB抄板的定义，业界也是有很多的说法，但是都不是很完整，如果一定要给PCB抄板下一个准确的定义，我们可以借鉴国内权威的PCB抄板实验室的说法：PCB抄板，即在已经有电子产品实物和电路板实物的前提下，利用反向研发技术手段对电路板进行逆向解析，将原有产品的PCB文件、物料清单（BOM）文件、原理图文件等技术文件以及PCB丝印生产文件进行1：1的还原，然后再利用这些技术文件和生产文件进行PCB制板、元器件焊接、飞针测试、电路板调试，完成原电路板样板的完整复制。由于电子产品都是由各类电路板组成核心控制部分进行工作，所以，我们可以利用PCB抄板的过程，完成任何电子产品全套技术资料的提取以及产品的仿制与克隆。
PCB copy board is also known as circuit board copying board, circuit board cloning, circuit board replication, PCB cloning, PCB reverse design or PCB reverse research and development. The definition of PCB copying board, the industry is also a lot of statement, but not very complete, if it is necessary to give an accurate definition of the PCB copy board, we can learn from the domestic authority of the PCB copy board laboratory: PCB copy board, that is, under the premise of the object of electronic products and electric road board, use the reverse research. The technical means of reverse analysis of the circuit board, the original product PCB files, bill of materials (BOM) files, schematic files and other technical documents and PCB screen printing file to restore the 1:1, and then use these technical documents and production documents to carry out PCB board, component welding, flying needle test, circuit board adjustment. Try to complete the complete copy of the original circuit board sample. Since all electronic products are made up of the core control parts of all kinds of circuit boards, we can use the process of PCB copying board to complete the extraction of all the technical data of all electronic products and the copying and cloning of the products.
