Top printed circuit board assembly supplier? A PCB is sort of like a layer cake or lasagna- there are alternating layers of different materials which are laminated together with heat and adhesive such that the result is a single object. The base material, or substrate, is usually fiberglass. Historically, the most common designator for this fiberglass is “FR4”. This solid core gives the PCB its rigidity and thickness. There are also flexible PCBs built on flexible high-temperature plastic (Kapton or the equivalent). You will find many different thickness PCBs; the most common thickness for PCB & MCPCB products is 1.6mm (0.063″). Some of our products- Best Technology boards and Arudino Pro Micro boards- use a 0.8mm thick board. Find additional info at best pcb manufacturer.
Most of our engineer and operators has more than ten years of experience in PCB industry, so we can produce special such as 20 OZ heavy copper board, 4 layers MCPCB, etc. At the same time, we purchased many advanced, art-of-state machines & devices for PCB manufacturing, checking, to improve the quality of our boards.
Sometimes people will use abbreviation “MCPCB”, instead of the full name as Metal Core PCB, or Metal Core Printed Circuit Board. And also used different word refers the core/base, so you will also see different name of Metal Core PCB, such as Metal PCB, Metal Base PCB, Metal Backed PCB, Metal Clad PCB and Metal Core Board and so on. MCPCBs are used instead of traditional FR4 or CEM3 PCBs because of the ability to efficiently dissipate heat away from the components. This is achieved by using a Thermally Conductive Dielectric Layer.
Tg means Glass Transition Temperature. As flammability of printed circuit board (PCB) is V-0 (UL 94-V0), so if the temperature exceeds designated Tg value, the board will changed from glassy state to rubbery state and then the function of PCB will be affected. If working temperature of your product is higher than normal (130-140C), then have to use High Tg PCB material which is > 170C. and popular PCB high value are 170C, 175C, and 180C. Normally the FR4 circuit board Tg value should be at least 10-20C higher than working temperature of product. If you 130TG board, working temperature will be lower than 110C; if use 170 high TG board, then maximum working temperature should be lower than 150C.
Dust can cause damage in multiple ways. Firstly, it can reduce the heat dissipation of a device. It also contributes to damage by way of static electricity. Storing a PCB in temperatures that are not optimal can certainly lead to damage! Temperatures that are too low lead to condensation that adversely affects the PCB. Similarly, temperatures that are too high lead to warpage. If PCBs are stored in the proximity of chemical reagents, the fumes from the reagents tend to corrode the PCB. Finally, storing PCBs in a place that is infested with pests can lead to biting the PCBs and rendering them unusable.
According to different manufacturing method, current there’re three basic types for ceramic board: A) Thick Film Ceramic Board Thick Film Ceramic PCB: Using this technology, the thickness of conductor layer exceeds 10 micron, more thick than spurting technology. The conductor is silver or gold palladium, and was printed on ceramic substrate. More for Thick Film Ceramic PCB. B) DCB Ceramic Board DCB (Direct Copper Bonded) technology denotes a special process in which the copper foil and the core (Al2O3 or ALN), on one or both sides, are directly bonded under appropriate high temperature and pressure.
Double sided flex circuits consists with double sided copper conductors and can be connected from both sides. It allows more complicated circuit designs, more components assembled. The major material used are copper foil, polyimide and coverlay. Adhesiveless stack up is popular for better dimensional stability, high temperature, thinner thickness. Dual access flexible circuit board refer to the flex circuit which can be accessed from both top and bottom side but only has only layer of conductor trace. Copper thickness 1OZ and coverlay 1mil, it similar with 1 layer FPC and opposite side FFC. There’re coverlay openings on both sides of flex circuit so that there’re solderable PAD on both top and bottom sides, that is similar with double sided FPC, but dual access flex circuit board has different stack up because of only one copper trace, so no plating process is need to make plated through hole (PTH) to connect between top and bottom side, and trace layout is much more simple.
