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
Copper clad laminate (CCL) is the most widely used and important basic board for PCB sampling; It consists of three parts: copper foil, reinforcing material, and adhesive. Its function is to support various components and achieve electrical connections or insulation between them. So, what are the classifications of PCB foil plates? 1. Classification by reinforcement material The most commonly used reinforcement materials for laminated sheets are alkali free, fiberglass products, or paper. Therefore, laminates can be divided into two categories: glass cloth based and paper based. 2. Classification by adhesive type The main adhesives used for laminated sheets include phenolic, epoxy, polyester, polyimide, polytetrafluoroethylene resin, etc. Therefore, laminated sheets are also divided into phenolic, epoxy, polyester, polyimide, and polytetrafluoroethylene laminated sheets accordingly. 3. Classification based on substrate characteristics and usage According to the degree of comb
The so-called copper coating refers to using the idle space on the PCB as a reference plane, and then filling it with solid copper. These copper areas are also known as copper filling. Copper coating can be divided into large-area copper coating and grid copper coating. Next, let professional PCB manufacturers provide you with a detailed understanding of the basic knowledge of PCB circuit board copper coating: 1、 Precautions for copper coating: 1. Single point connection in different locations: connected through a 0 ohm resistor, magnetic bead, or inductor. 2. The copper coating near the crystal oscillator is used as a high-frequency emission source in the circuit. The crystal oscillator should be surrounded by copper coating, and then the outer shell of the crystal oscillator should be grounded separately. 2、 What are the benefits of copper coating? 1. Copper coating can reduce ground wire impedance and improve anti-interference ability; 2. Reduce voltage drop and improve po
The reasons for the warping of printed circuit boards are, on one hand, the possible warping of the substrate used, and on the other hand, the warping caused by thermal stress, chemical factors, and improper processing during the processing. So, what are the preventive measures for warping of printed circuit boards? 1. Prevent improper inventory methods from causing substrate warping. (1) During the storage process, if the humidity in the inventory environment is high, the copper clad plate will increase warping due to moisture absorption. So for copper clad panels without moisture-proof packaging, attention should be paid to warehouse conditions, minimize warehouse humidity, and avoid bare placement of copper clad panels. (2) Improper placement of copper clad panels can increase warping. If placed vertically or with heavy objects pressed on the copper clad plate, it will increase the warping deformation. Solution: Improve the storage environment, eliminate vertical placement,
PCB wiring is very important and has a significant impact on the product's lifespan, stability, and electromagnetic compatibility. If the wiring of the circuit board is unreasonable, the product performance will be greatly reduced. Below, we will introduce several special methods for PCB circuit board wiring, hoping to be helpful to you. 1. Right angle wiring: The impact of right angle routing on signals is mainly reflected in: (1) Corners can be equivalent to capacitive loads on the transmission line, slowing down the rise time; (2) Impedance discontinuity can cause signal reflection; (3) The EMI generated by the right angled tip will become a focus of high-speed circuit design in the field of RF design above 10GHz. 2. Differential wiring The advantages of differential signal compared to ordinary single ended signal wiring are as follows: (1) Strong anti-interference ability. Because the coupling between two differential routing lines is good, when there is external noise
PCB design is particularly important as it appears in almost every electronic device. So, what are the common mistakes in PCB circuit board design? 1、 Character shuffling Including character cover solder pads and SMD solder pads, which brings inconvenience to printed board testing and component welding; The character design is too small, making it difficult to screen, and it can cause characters to overlap and be difficult to distinguish. 2、 Abuse of graphic layers 1. Some useless connections were made on some graphics layers. 2. When designing, it is easy to draw and label the lines that are common to each layer using the Board layer. However, when conducting photo data, the circuit is broken due to missing lines due to the absence of a Board layer. 3、 Overlap of pads 1. The overlap of solder pads (excluding surface mounted solder pads) means the overlap of holes, which can cause damage to the holes during the drilling process due to multiple drilling at one location. 2. T
PCB is the fundamental electronic component of all electronic circuit designs, and the design of PCB circuit boards is also a must for engineers to understand. So, what methods should be mastered in PCB circuit board design? 1. There should be a reasonable direction The best direction is in a straight line, but it is generally not easy to achieve, and the most unfavorable direction is in a circular shape. For input/output, AC/DC, strong/weak signals, high-frequency/low-frequency, high-voltage/low-voltage, etc., their direction should be linear (or separated) and should not blend with each other, with the aim of preventing mutual interference. 2. Choose a good grounding point In general, it is required to have a common ground connection, such as: the multiple ground wires of the forward amplifier should be merged and then connected to the main ground, etc. In reality, it is difficult to fully achieve due to various limitations, but efforts should be made to follow them. 3. Reas
High frequency PCB circuit design is a very complex design process, and its wiring is crucial for the entire design! So, what are the wiring methods for high-frequency PCB circuits? 1. Multilayer board wiring In the PCB layout stage, choose a reasonable number of layers of printed circuit board size, fully utilize the middle layer to set shielding, better achieve nearby grounding, effectively reduce parasitic inductance and shorten signal transmission length, while also significantly reducing signal cross interference. 2. The less bent the leads between electronic device pins, the better It is best to use a full straight line as the lead wire, which requires a turning point. A 45 degree broken line or arc turning point can be used to meet this requirement, but it can reduce the external emission and mutual coupling of high-frequency signals. 3. The shorter the lead between device pins, the better The radiation intensity of a signal is directly proportional to the length of th
There are significant differences in the usage scenarios, products, performance, materials, areas, and other aspects of PCB boards, resulting in significant changes in the types of components used, the thickness of connecting wires, and the density of wiring. So, what factors need to be considered when selecting PCB boards? 1. For general electronic products, use FR4 epoxy glass fiber substrate; For use with high ambient temperatures or flexible circuit boards, polyimide glass fiber substrates are used; For high-frequency boards, polytetrafluoroethylene glass fiber substrate needs to be used; For electronic products with high heat dissipation requirements, metal substrates should be used. 2. Plates with higher glass transition temperature (Tg) should be appropriately selected, and the Tg value should be higher than the circuit operating temperature. 3. Low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) is required for the board. 4. High heat resistance of the board is required. General
PCB screen printing is an important process in PCB production and also determines the quality of the finished PCB board. So, what are the specifications and requirements for PCB screen printing? 1. All components, installation holes, and positioning holes have corresponding silk screen markings. In order to facilitate the installation of the finished board, the installation holes on the PCB are marked with H1, H2,... Hn by screen printing. 2. Silk screen characters should follow the principle of going from left to right and from bottom to top as much as possible; For devices with polarity such as electrolytic capacitors and diodes, try to maintain consistent orientation within each functional unit. 3. There is no silk screen on the solder pads of the devices and the tin channels that need to be coated with tin, and the device tag number should not be obstructed by the devices after installation; The silk screen should not be pressed on the through hole or solder pad to avoid los
When high-speed PCB wiring is used, the signal will reflect in the transmission channel when the impedance does not match during transmission; The fundamental way to eliminate reflection is to make the impedance of the transmitted signal match well. So, what wiring rules should be followed for impedance matching of high-speed PCB signals? Due to the larger difference between the load impedance and the characteristic impedance of the transmission line, the greater the reflection, it is necessary to make the characteristic impedance of the signal transmission line equal to the load impedance as much as possible; At the same time, it is also important to note that there should be no sudden changes or corners in the transmission line on the PCB, and to try to maintain continuous impedance at each point of the transmission line, otherwise there will also be reflections between different sections of the transmission line. This requires that the following wiring rules must be followed wh
Circuit boards are known as the "mother of electronic components" and are essential basic accessories in electronic devices. Nowadays, there are many circuit board manufacturers on the market. With the development of circuit board production technology, many PCB buyers have gradually begun to understand the basic characteristics of Shenzhen circuit board manufacturers. So, what are the characteristics of excellent Shenzhen circuit board manufacturers? 1、 Having a strong R&D team The reason why Shenzhen circuit board manufacturers are able to produce high-quality circuit boards is that they have a professional research and development team that can provide plasticity suggestions for prototype products in the design stage. In addition, excellent core technical personnel from manufacturers have years of experience in circuit board research and development, which enables them to produce PCB circuit board products with quality assurance strictly in accordance with industry standards a
When customers customize PCB products, they always make more in case of unexpected needs. Over time, there may be the phenomenon of PCB boards expiring but being ignored by oneself. So, what are the hazards of using expired PCB circuit boards? 1. Expired PCB may cause oxidation of surface solder pads After oxidation of the solder pad, it will cause poor soldering, which may ultimately lead to functional failure or the risk of parts falling out. The antioxidant effect of different surface treatments on circuit boards may vary, and in principle, ENIG requires that they be used up within 12 months; OSP requires it to be used up within six months, and it is recommended to follow the shelf life of the PCB factory to ensure quality. 2. Expired PCB may absorb moisture and cause board explosion When the circuit board undergoes soldering after moisture absorption, it may cause problems such as popcorn effect, board explosion, or delamination. Although this problem can be solved through
Nowadays, the development of circuit boards is becoming more mature, and their technical level is constantly being updated. A PCB circuit board needs to go through various production processes from prototype to finished product. Sinking process is a commonly used surface treatment process in PCB circuit boards; Next, let the Shenzhen PCB factory take you to understand the process of circuit board gold deposition. The gold deposition process is to deposit a nickel gold coating with stable color, good brightness, flat coating, and good solderability on the surface of PCB printed circuits through chemical reactions; Because of weak adhesion, it is also known as soft gold. Because sinking gold is softer than plating gold, making gold fingers from sinking gold plates is not wear-resistant. The PCB board after sinking gold presents a golden yellow color, which is brighter and more beautiful than the color of gold plating. The Shenzhen PCB factory has summarized its characteristics as fo
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 b
