The problem of blackening of the electroplating gold layer often occurs, which affects the quality and performance of the circuit board. So, what are the reasons for the blackening of the electroplating gold layer on PCB board copying? 1. Thickness control of nickel plating layer PCB electroplating gold layer is generally very thin, reflected on the surface of electroplating gold, many of which are caused by poor performance of nickel electroplating. Generally, a thin nickel plating layer can cause the appearance of the product to turn white and black. Generally, it is necessary to electroplate the nickel layer thickness to around 5UM to be sufficient. 2. Condition of plating nickel cylinder solution If the nickel cylinder solution is not well maintained for a long time and carbon treatment is not carried out in a timely manner, the nickel layer electroplated will easily produce flaky crystals, increase the hardness and brittleness of the coating. Serious problems can result in

With the development of PCB technology towards high density and refinement, the role of multi-layer PCB boards is becoming increasingly important and widely used in various fields. Below is the engineer's interpretation of several common questions about multi-layer PCB circuit boards: 1. How many layers can a multi-layer PCB board have at most? PCB boards were initially mainly composed of single or double panels, but later with the development of technology, multi-layer PCB boards were needed to achieve the interaction of multi-layer circuits. Components range from simple single sided boards to 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and even 22 or more layers. There is no conclusion regarding the maximum number of layers on a multi-layer PCB board. For research and development institutions, the number of layers of a PCB depends on the product requirements and functions implemented by the electronic PCB application. 2. Is it better to have more layers of multi-layer PCB boards? Generally speaking, the
PCB ink plays a role in protecting the copper foil during the production of PCB circuit boards, preventing the copper skin from being exposed, thereby affecting the subsequent processes; The commonly used ink colors are white oil, green oil, black oil, blue oil, red oil, and butter. So, what are the precautions for using PCB ink? In any case, the temperature of the ink must be maintained between 20-25 ℃, otherwise it will affect the viscosity of the ink and the quality and effectiveness of screen printing. Especially when ink is stored outdoors or at different temperatures, it must be placed at ambient temperature for a few days before reuse or until the ink barrel reaches the appropriate temperature for use. 2. Before use, the ink must be thoroughly and carefully mixed manually or mechanically. If air enters the ink, it should be left to stand for a period of time before use; If dilution is required, first mix thoroughly and then test its viscosity. The ink bucket must be sealed
Many newcomers often confuse nickel palladium plating with nickel gold plating. So, what is the difference between PCB sample nickel palladium plating and nickel gold plating? Nickel palladium plating is a non selective surface processing process that involves depositing a layer of nickel, palladium, and gold onto the surface of the copper layer of the printed circuit using chemical methods in PCB sampling. Electroplating nickel gold refers to the process of making gold particles adhere to PCB boards through electroplating, which is also known as hard gold due to its strong adhesion; This process can greatly increase the hardness and wear resistance of PCBs, effectively preventing the diffusion of copper and other metals. The difference between chemical nickel palladium gold and electroplating nickel gold: Similarities: 1. Both belong to important surface treatment processes in PCB sampling; 2. The main application field is wiring and connection technology, which is suitable

When designing PCB circuit board products, we often care about layout and wiring, which can easily overlook the additional PCB manufacturing costs in the design. Below, let's talk about the factors that affect the sampling price of PCB circuit boards in Shenzhen, in order to avoid increasing costs for customers. 1. Number of wiring layers. The price increases linearly with the number of layers, and the higher the number of layers, the more the price doubles. 2. Through hole. Normally, vias smaller than 0.25mm will be charged by the manufacturer. 3. Plug the hole in the disc. Unless there are strict requirements for signal and layout, try not to use it as it will increase costs. 4. Back drilling. Usually only used for high-speed signals such as backplanes. 5. Line width and line spacing. Usually less than 3.5 mils, additional fees will be charged. 6. Plate (high tg, high-frequency, unconventional) increases procurement cycle and production costs. 7.

Wave soldering is a batch soldering process used for manufacturing PCB circuit boards, mainly used for soldering through hole components. So, what are the issues that need to be paid attention to in the wave soldering process of PCB circuit boards? 1. There is green oil inside the component hole, which leads to poor tin plating inside the hole. The green oil in the hole should not exceed 10% of the hole wall, and the number of holes in the internal green oil should not exceed 5%. 2. Insufficient coating thickness leads to poor tin plating in the hole. 3. The coating thickness on the component hole wall is insufficient, resulting in poor tin plating inside the hole. Usually, the thickness of the hole wall should be greater than 18 μ M. 4. The hole wall is too rough, resulting in poor tin plating or pseudo welding inside the hole. 5. The hole is damp, causing pseudo welding or bubbles. Sealing a PCB before drying or cooling, as well as leaving it for a long time after unpacking,
High frequency circuit wiring is a key and difficult issue in PCB circuit board design. Let Shenzhen PCB manufacturers share with you the high-frequency circuit wiring techniques for PCB design: 1. The less alternating layers of leads between pins in high-frequency circuit devices, the better The so-called "less alternating between lead layers is better" refers to the use of fewer vias (Via) during the component connection process. Reducing the number of vias can significantly improve speed and reduce the possibility of data errors. 2. The shorter the lead between the pins of high-frequency circuit devices, the better The radiation intensity of a signal is proportional to the length of the signal line, and the longer the high-frequency signal lead, the easier it is to couple to components close to it. 3. The less bent the leads between the pins of high-speed electronic devices, the better The lead wire for high-frequency circuit wiring should preferably be fully straight, and i
High frequency circuit wiring should pay attention to the "crosstalk" introduced by signal lines running parallel in close proximity, which refers to the coupling phenomenon between signal lines that are not directly connected. The parameters of the PCB board layer, the spacing between signal lines, the electrical characteristics of the driver and receiver ends, and the termination method of signal lines all have a certain impact on crosstalk. So, what are the measures for reducing high-frequency signal crosstalk in PCB wiring? 1. Inserting a ground wire or ground plane between two lines with severe crosstalk can provide isolation and reduce crosstalk; 2. If parallel distribution cannot be avoided, a large area of "ground" can be arranged on the opposite side of the parallel signal line to significantly reduce interference; 3. If the wiring space permits, the spacing between adjacent signal lines can be increased to reduce the parallel length of signal lines; 4. If parallel run
