FPC is divided into FPC single board, FPC double-sided board, FPC multi-layer board, etc. according to the number of layers. FPC single board is a relatively simple FPC flexible circuit board in the FPC flexible circuit board.
Thermostats are an essential part of our daily lives and industrial systems, regulating temperature to maintain stable conditions in both equipment and environments. However, to ensure thermostats operate reliably under various conditions, the core technology behind them—PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design—must meet high standards. This article explores the key factors to consider when designing a thermostat PCB and how to ensure its efficient and reliable performance.
RF and microwave PCB assemblies are widely recognized as the go-to solutions for networking and communication due to their superior ability to handle high frequencies. Their capacity to operate in the megahertz (MHz) to gigahertz (GHz) range makes them indispensable for modern communication applications.
One of the most important things in the electronics industry is the PCB. They are used in many industries such as aerospace, consumer electronics, automotive, etc. However, many times, businesses cannot decide whether they should choose single-layer or multi-layer printed circuit board assembly.
Manufacturers use flux to solder components on PCBs. Depending on the PCB components, flux also varies and is used to fix them on the board. It ensures uninterrupted and strong electrical connections between devices. However, it is crucial to remove excess flux so as not to blur signal traces or damage connections. In this article, we have introduced various methods and basic steps to remove flux from PCBs.
Designing a high-voltage PCB requires careful planning, adherence to specific guidelines, and a keen eye for safety. Whether you’re working on industrial equipment, power electronics, or consumer devices, the following tips and considerations will ensure you create efficient and safe high-voltage PCB designs.
PCB Panelization, also called PCB arrays, are composed of multiple small boards arranged to form a larger unit. These panels streamline manufacturing and assembly processes. After the components are mounted, a depaneling process separates individual PCBs from the array.
These outstanding characteristics of coated and resin PCBs emphasize the necessity of analyzing the system and requirements to make the right decision. Coatings have different functions and disadvantages. The same is true for resin PCBs. To complicate matters, some devices now adopt 2K coated PCBs due to their advanced characteristics.
Both types of circuit boards have their own advantages and disadvantages. Rigid-flex boards are more flexible than Fr4 rigid boards. Fr4 has a higher flame retardancy. Therefore, it is used according to the current situation. Rigid-flex boards have more industrial uses, which explains why they are more expensive, while Fr4 rigid boards have more universal uses and are therefore cost-effective.
FR-4 is one of the substrate materials of PCB. The colors of FR-4 board surface include yellow FR-4, white FR-4, black FR-4, blue FR-4, etc.FR-4 is not a material, but a material grade, which represents a material code of a fire resistance grade. It means that the resin material must be able to extinguish itself after burning.
