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
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

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

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?
