Have you noticed that now more and more of our lighting is using led lighting.What is LED? Compared to the traditional light bulbs, LEDs have lower power consumption, longer lifetime and higher energy efficiency. In the PCB industry,when we say LED PCB, it refers to the pcb used for LED lighting, if you are looking for a suitable LED PCB for your lighting system, this article may bring you something. WHAT ARE LEDS COMPOSED OF?LED is an initial light-emitting diode that produces light when an electric current passes through. LEDs typically have negative and positive electrodes, which generate light in the visible light region.The LEDS are glued to the PCB by soldering process and have electrical connections for lighting.Since light-emitting diodes dissipate a lot of heat when they are in use, when you are designing LED, the metal core is usually the best choice for LED PCB, it is because that it dissipates heat more faster. Among them, the metal material aluminum is the most widely used
1. Resistor: One of the common components in a circuit. Its main function is to limit the flow of current and control the voltage and current levels in the circuit. By adjusting the circuit signal with different resistance values, it is possible to prevent overcurrent from damaging other components. 2. Capacitor: A common component in a circuit that stores energy. Capacitors can store and release charges under the action of an electric field. It plays a storage and discharge role in the circuit, used for circuit functions such as filtering, coupling, and voltage stabilization. 3. Diode: A nonlinear component in a circuit. Diodes have a single conductivity and can only circulate current in one direction. It is commonly used for circuit rectification, current limiting, and protection functions. 4. Transistor: An important semiconductor device in electronic equipment. The transistor can amplify current and voltage signals, and has various functions such as switching, amplification, a
There are significant differences in usage between rigid circuit boards and flexible circuit boards. Rigid circuit boards are suitable for scenarios with high requirements for stability and reliability, while flexible circuit boards are suitable for scenarios with high requirements for shape and weight. Rigid circuit boards have a fixed shape and size, which can provide good stability and mechanical strength, making them suitable for most general electronic devices. Flexible circuit boards can be bent and folded according to design requirements, with strong shape variability, making them suitable for products with special shapes and lightweight designs. With the continuous development and innovation of electronic products, the application prospects of rigid circuit boards and flexible circuit boards in different fields are becoming increasingly broad. Rigid circuit boards still dominate traditional large electronic devices, but the application of flexible circuit boards in wearabl
FPC: Flexible Printed Circuit, abbreviated as Flexible Board, in English. It is a single-sided, double-sided, and multi-layer circuit board made by using an etching process on a flexible substrate surface. The surface circuit can also be electrically connected to the inner and outer layers through metallized holes. The production method of flexible circuit boards is simple and cost-effective, while compared to traditional (hard boards), they achieve weight breakthroughs and are thinner. Flexible circuit boards in certain fields can also effectively reduce device volume and facilitate portability. It has a wide range of application scenarios, high experimental value, and long-lasting research and preparation enthusiasm. So far, the vast majority of FPC board circuit fabrication has been done using addition and subtraction (etching) processing, usually by photolithography on copper foil to prepare traditional FPC boards. Firstly, the printing/lithography circuit needs to be printed
1. One on one assembly board One on one splicing is the simplest splicing method, suitable for small PCB boards with a small quantity. Arrange each small board accurately on the large board according to the design requirements, then perform one-time etching, cutting, and other processes, and finally cut the large board into multiple independent small boards. This method is suitable for sample production or small-scale production, but it is inefficient for large-scale production. 2. Minimize Area Splicing Minimizing area splicing is an optimized splicing method. Arrange multiple small boards on the large board in a certain way to minimize the area of the large board and save materials. This method is suitable for large-scale production, which can improve utilization and reduce costs. 3. Maximize the number of pieces for splicing Maximizing the number of pieces is a splicing method that pursues production efficiency. According to the size and process requirements of the small bo

It can be connected to the production line of circuit boards, achieving functions such as automatic feeding, automatic detection, and automatic identification of good and bad products, without the need for manual operation, greatly reducing labor costs and reducing quality damage caused by manual operation. Secondly, high accuracy. Adopting high-precision CIS scanning system, as well as technologies such as automatic positioning, image processing, and intelligent detection and analysis, to achieve high-precision detection. Thirdly, high efficiency. Equipped with a multi-channel detection device, it can customize 3 and 6 channels for simultaneous detection, greatly improving detection efficiency.
The main problem with RF circuit layout is usually the unsatisfactory characteristic impedance of the circuit, including circuit components and their interconnections. If the copper layer on the lead is relatively thin, it is equivalent to an inductance line and forms a distributed capacitance with other adjacent leads. When the lead passes through a through hole, it also exhibits inductance and capacitance characteristics. The through-hole capacitance mainly comes from the capacitance formed between the copper coating on the through-hole pad side and the copper coating on the formation, which is separated by a relatively small circular ring. Another influence comes from the cylindrical structure of the metal through hole itself. The influence of parasitic capacitance is generally small and usually only causes the edge of high-speed digital signals to deteriorate. The biggest impact of via is the parasitic inductance caused by the corresponding interconnection method. Because in

In recent years, people have increasingly attached importance to environmental protection, so while demanding steady economic development, there are also more requirements for environmental protection construction. Building an "environmentally friendly" society has increasingly become an urgent need for people. The country has also increased its efforts to regulate environmental protection to meet the needs of the times. In 2017, China comprehensively strengthened environmental emission restrictions and conducted inspections on the manufacturing industry, forcing nearly a hundred enterprises to suspend trading for rectification. In 2018, the implementation of the "Environmental Protection Tax" resulted in an increase in environmental protection costs for PCB manufacturers. After a round of rectification, some PCB manufacturers who could not meet environmental requirements were forced to withdraw from the market, and those fortunate enough to survive also had higher requirements fo
If two holes are too close during drilling operation, it will affect the efficiency of PCB drilling process. Due to the fact that after drilling the first hole, the material in one direction is too thin when drilling the second hole, resulting in uneven stress on the drilling nozzle and uneven heat dissipation of the drilling nozzle, leading to the breakage of the drilling nozzle, resulting in unsightly PCB hole collapse or incomplete drilling. 2. In PC multilayer boards, vias have hole rings on each layer of the circuit, and the environment around each layer of the hole ring varies, with and without wire clips. When optimizing files in PCB factory CAM engineers, they will cut off a portion of the hole ring in cases where the clamping wire is too close or the hole is too close to the hole, to ensure a safe distance of 3mil between the welding ring and different network copper/wire. 3. The hole position tolerance for drilling is ≤ 0.05mm. When the tolerance reaches the upper limit
The first level is relatively simple, and the process and process are easy to control. The second order problem starts to get troublesome, one is the alignment problem, and the other is the punching and copper plating problem. There are various second-order designs, one of which is to stagger the positions of each stage and connect the secondary layers through wires in the middle layer, which is equivalent to two first-order HDIs. The second method is to overlap two first order holes and achieve second order through superposition. The processing is also similar to two first order holes, but there are many process points that need to be specially controlled, which is mentioned above. The third method is to directly drill holes from the outer layer to the third layer (or N-2 layer), with many different processes and greater difficulty in drilling. For the third order, the second order analogy is.
PCB (Printed Circuit Board), also known as Printed Circuit Board in Chinese, is an important electronic component that supports electronic components and serves as the carrier for electrical connections of electronic components. Due to its use of electronic printing technology, it is called a "printed" circuit board. Its main function is to avoid manual wiring errors due to the consistency of similar printed boards in electronic equipment, and to achieve automatic insertion or installation of electronic components, automatic soldering, and automatic detection, ensuring the quality of electronic equipment, improving labor productivity, reducing costs, and facilitating maintenance. HDI boards refer to high-density interconnect circuit boards. The boards with blind hole electroplating and secondary pressing are all HDI boards, which are divided into first, second, third, fourth, and fifth order HDIs. For example, the motherboard of the iPhone 6 is a fifth order HDI. Simply burying
HDI board (High Density Interconnector), also known as high-density interconnect board, is a circuit board that uses micro blind buried hole technology and has a relatively high line distribution density. The HDI board has both inner and outer circuits, which are connected internally by drilling and metallization processes. HDI boards are generally manufactured using the stacking method, and the more times they are stacked, the higher the technical level of the board. Ordinary HDI boards are basically stacked once, while higher-order HDI uses two or more layers of technology, as well as advanced PCB technologies such as hole stacking, electroplating filling, and laser direct drilling. When the density of PCBs increases beyond eight layers, manufacturing with HDI will result in lower costs compared to traditional complex pressing processes. HDI boards are conducive to the use of advanced assembly technology, and their electrical performance and signal accuracy are higher than trad
Answer: (1) Solder resist oil is generally composed of a mixture of the main agent, curing agent, and diluent of the ink. During the mixing and stirring of the ink, there will be some air left in the liquid. When the ink is squeezed by a scraper or screen, it flows onto the board surface. In a short period of time, when it encounters strong light or equivalent temperature, the gas inside the ink will flow rapidly with the accelerated flow of the ink, and evaporate outward. (2) The spacing between the lines is too narrow, and the lines are too high. During screen printing, the solder mask ink cannot print onto the substrate, resulting in the presence of air or moisture between the solder mask ink and the substrate. During curing and exposure, the gas expands and causes bubbles due to heat. (3) Single lines are mainly caused by high lines. When the scraper contacts the line, the angle between the scraper and the line increases, making the solder mask ink unable to print to the bottom
The signal integrity problem is not caused by a single factor, but by multiple factors in board level design. The main signal integrity problems include reflection, ringing, ground bounce, crosstalk, etc. The following mainly introduces the solutions to crosstalk and reflection. Cross talk refers to the unwanted voltage noise interference caused by electromagnetic coupling on adjacent transmission lines when a signal propagates on the transmission line. Excessive crosstalk may cause false triggering of the circuit, resulting in the system not functioning properly. Due to the inverse ratio between crosstalk and line spacing, it is proportional to the parallel length of the lines. Crosstalk varies with the load of the circuit, and for the same topology and wiring situation, the larger the load, the greater the crosstalk. Crosstalk is directly proportional to the signal frequency. In digital circuits, the edge change of the signal has the greatest impact on crosstalk. The faster the
Signal integrity refers to the ability of a signal to respond with the correct timing and voltage in a circuit. It is a state in which the signal is undamaged and represents the quality of the signal on the signal line. 1 Delay Delay refers to the limited speed at which a signal is transmitted on the wires of a PCB board, and there is a transmission delay between the signal being sent from the sending end to the receiving end. The delay of the signal will have an impact on the timing of the system, and the transmission delay mainly depends on the length of the wire and the dielectric constant of the surrounding medium. In high-speed digital systems, the length of signal transmission lines is the most direct factor affecting the phase difference of clock pulses. Clock pulse phase difference refers to the asynchronous arrival of two clock signals at the receiving end. The phase difference of clock pulses reduces the predictability of signal arrival. If the phase difference of clo
As the speed of integrated circuit output switches increases and the density of PCB boards increases, Signal Integrity has become one of the essential issues in high-speed digital PCB design. Factors such as the parameters of components and PCB boards, the layout of components on the PCB board, and the layout of high-speed signal lines can all cause signal integrity issues. For PCB layout, signal integrity requires providing a circuit board layout that does not affect signal timing or voltage, while for circuit wiring, signal integrity requires providing termination components, layout strategies, and wiring information. High signal speed, incorrect layout of termination components, or incorrect wiring of high-speed signals on a PCB can all cause signal integrity issues, which may result in incorrect system output, abnormal circuit operation, or even complete failure. How to fully consider signal integrity factors and take effective control measures in the PCB design process has b
Answer: 1. The circuit board surface includes a foil coated substrate and a pre copper plated substrate after hole metallization. To ensure a firm adhesion between the dry film and the substrate surface, it is required that the substrate surface be free of oxide layers, oil stains, fingerprints, and other dirt, drilling burrs, and rough coatings. To increase the contact area between the dry film and the substrate surface, it is also required that the substrate have a micro rough surface. To meet the above two requirements, the substrate must be carefully treated before applying the film. The treatment methods can be summarized into two categories: mechanical cleaning and chemical cleaning. 2. The same principle applies to resistance welding. Before resistance welding, grinding the plate is to remove some oxidation layers, oil stains, fingerprints, and other dirt from the plate surface. In order to increase the contact area between the resistance welding ink and the plate surface and
With the continuous enhancement of mobile terminal functions and the continuous development of thinness and lightness, the design of HDI boards is more towards third-order or even any layer HDI boards. Apple has adopted any layer of HDI for the first time in iPhone 4 and iPad 2, significantly improving the product's lightness and thinness. Subsequently, the Android camp quickly followed suit, and any layer of HDI became the standard motherboard for current mid to high-end smartphones. According to statistics, changing from first-order HDI to any layer HDI can reduce the volume by about 40%. It is expected that any layer of HDI will be applied in an increasing number of high-end smartphones and tablets in the future. At present, the adoption rate of third-order HDI and any layer HDI for smartphones is about 30%, while the adoption rate for tablets is even higher at over 80%. We believe that mobile terminals represented by smartphones will continue to drive the development of HDI boa
In addition to mobile terminals, high-end servers will also drive up the overall demand level for HDI. Currently, PCBs with layers below 8 are mainly used for household appliances, PCs, desktop computers, etc., while high-end applications such as high-performance multi-channel servers and aerospace require PCBs with layers above 10. Taking servers as an example, on single or dual channel servers, PCB boards are generally between 4-8 layers, while high-end servers such as 4-way and 8-way require 16 layers or more on the motherboard and 20 layers or more on the backplane. Therefore, HDI boards are more commonly used. The development of the domestic cloud computing market and the rapid expansion of mobile internet such as mobile payments, OTO applications, and social networks have driven the steady growth of the Chinese server market, becoming the main driving force for global shipment growth, and the growth rate is constantly increasing. In 2015, the sales revenue was 49.82 billion
1. Why do I need to plug holes when BGA is in resistance welding? What are the acceptance criteria? Answer: Firstly, the solder plug hole is to protect the service life of the through hole. The hole diameter required for the BGA position plug is generally relatively small, ranging from 0.2 to 0.35mm. During the subsequent processing, some of the medicine in the hole is not easy to dry or evaporate, and it is easy to leave residue. If the solder plug hole is not plugged or not full during the solder plug, there will be residual foreign objects or solder beads in the subsequent processing such as tin spraying and gold deposition, which will be heated when the customer installs the component for high-temperature welding, Foreign objects or tin beads inside the hole will flow out and adhere to the component, causing defects in the performance of the component, such as open circuit or short circuit. BGA is located in the solder plug hole A. Be sure to plug it fully. B. There should be
