Aluminum PCB, or Aluminium PCB, also called Alu PCB, is one of Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS) PCBs, and is also one of the most commonly used Metal Core PCBs nowadays
Flexible Printed Circuits (FPCs), also called Flexible Circuits, or Flex Circuits, by IPC definition, a flexible printed circuit is a patterned arrangement of printed circuitry and components that utilizes flexible based material with or without flexible cover lay. This definition is accurate, and conveys some of the potential given the available variations in base materials, conductor materials, and protective cover materials
Rigid-Flex boards are a combination of rigid boards and flexible circuits that are permanently laminated together and interconnected through through-holes. Rigid-Flex boards are also written as Flex-Rigid. Rigid-Flex boards straddle the boundaries of traditional rigid boards and the unique properties of flexible circuits, using highly ductile ED or RA copper photolithography onto a flexible insulating film
High-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs are characterized by finer lines, closer spaces, and more dense wiring, which allow for a faster connection while reducing the size and bulk of a project. These boards also feature blind and buried vias, laser ablated microvias, sequential lamination, and via in-pads.
Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) or Multilayer Boards (MLBs) feature more than two copper layers, interconnected using copper-plated holes. These holes may include NC vias, laser microvias, through-holes, buried, or blind vias. The layers consist of copper foil, prepreg (PP), or adhesive materials and are pressed together under high temperature and pressure. This process removes air and cures the thermosetting adhesives, forming a cohesive multilayer PCB
Electronic devices have transformed modern life, and at the heart of these innovations lies a critical component: the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). From smartphones and laptops to industrial machinery and household appliances, PCBs are the backbone of electronics, enabling functionality, precision, and reliability. What Is a PCB? A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is a thin […]
A multilayer PCB, or Printed Circuit Board, is an advanced type of circuitry that facilitates complex electronic functionalities within a compact framework.
The Curamik® product suite offers best-in-class metallized ceramic substrates for higher power efficiency. Composed of pure copper bonded or brazed to a ceramic substrate, our curamik® substrates are designed to carry higher currents, provide higher voltage isolation, and operate over a wide temperature range.
Compared to traditional fiberglass boards, ceramic substrates offer superior mechanical strength, high-temperature resistance, and excellent thermal conductivity. In addition, ceramic substrates also exhibit excellent dimensional and chemical stability.
Ceramic substrates are typically located within the copper/metal layers of a power module as part of the power electronics circuitry. They function similarly to a PCB, allowing them to optimally perform their intended purpose
