Pcb assembly factory today? Since beginning, as a printed circuit board (PCB) vendor in Asia, Best Technology is dedicating to be your best partner of advance, high-precision printed circuit boards, such as heavy copper boards, ultra thin PCB, mixed layers, high TG, HDI, high frequency (Rogers, Taconic), impedance controlled board, Metal Core PCB (MCPCB) such as Aluminum PCB, Copper PCB, and Ceramic PCB (conductor Copper, AgPd, Au, etc) and so on. Read extra details on pcb manufacturer. The layer on top of the copper foil is called the soldermask layer. This layer gives the PCB its green (or, at PCB & MCPCB, red) color. It is overlaid onto the copper layer to insulate the copper traces from accidental contact with other metal, solder, or conductive bits. This layer helps the user to solder to the correct places and prevent solder jumpers. In the example below, the green solder mask is applied to the majority of the PCB, covering up the small traces but leaving the silver rings and SMD pads exposed so they can be soldered to. Soldermask is most commonly green in color but nearly any color is possible. We use red for almost all the PCB & MCPCB boards, white for the IOIO board, and purple for the Best Technology boards.
A single sided flexible printed circuit (1 layer flex circuit) is a flex circuit with one layer of copper trace on one substrate, and with one layer Polyimide coverlay laminated to copper trace so that only one side copper will be exposed, so that it only allowing access to copper trace from one side, comparing to dual access flex circuit which allows access from both top and bottom side of flex circuit. As there’s only one layer of copper trace, so it also named as 1 layer flexible printed circuit, or 1 layer flexible circuit, or even 1 layer FPC, or 1L FPC. The multi layer flex circuit refer to a flex circuit with more than 2 layer circuit layers. Three or more flexible conductive layers with flexible insulating layers between each one, which are interconnected by way of metallized hole through the vias/holes and plating to form a conductive path between the different layers, and external are polyimide insulating layers. Quality Policy: PCB Quality is the core of products. All of engineer & vital department guys has more than five years expenrience in PCB industry, we follow up the default PCB standard, as well as with clients’ special request.
Tg means Glass Transition Temperature. As flammability of printed circuit board (PCB) is V-0 (UL 94-V0), so if the temperature exceeds designated Tg value, the board will changed from glassy state to rubbery state and then the function of PCB will be affected. If working temperature of your product is higher than normal (130-140C), then have to use High Tg PCB material which is > 170C. and popular PCB high value are 170C, 175C, and 180C. Normally the FR4 circuit board Tg value should be at least 10-20C higher than working temperature of product. If you 130TG board, working temperature will be lower than 110C; if use 170 high TG board, then maximum working temperature should be lower than 150C.
Despite all the precautions, damage to the Flexible PCB can occur. That is why one should constantly check for faulty components by testing all components to figure out the faulty ones and then replacing them so that the board functions well. Every so often, the issue could be caused by bad soldering. In such cases checking the soldering condition and repairing it works well. While components and soldering failure are easier issues to tackle, you could also be dealing with a complex circuit issue. If the circuit is indeed the problem, the PCB must be returned to the factory for the necessary repair. These are the most probable factors that may have caused your flexible PCB some damage. When you take care of such factors beforehand, you can avoid damages to your PCBs and save time and effort for your organization. To develop sturdy and long-lasting PCBs, it is always recommended to choose a reputed PCB Fabrication company that develops sturdy PCBs for you that have rare chances of getting damaged.
Flex PCB ( FPC ) is stands for Flexible Printed Circuits, or sometimes we just call it Flexible Circuits or Flex Circuits, which is the electronic component developed to allow electronic goods to become smaller and lighter, and it have been widely used from 1980s in USA & Europe, and then widely spread out around the world. Since flex circuits (flexible circuit) has excellent working efficiency and strong heat-resistance, it is widely used as a core component of all electronic goods such as cameras, computers and peripheral equipments, mobile phones, video & audio units, camcorders, printers, DVD, TFT LCD, satellite equipment, military equipments, and medical instruments. Anyway, Best Technology flex pcb manufacturer will provide OEM/ODM service. Find additional info on https://www.bstpcb.com/.
Generally speaking, aluminum is the most economic option considering thermal conductivity, rigidness, and cost. Therefore, the base/core material of normal Metal Core PCB are made of aluminum. In our company, if not special request, or notes, the metal core refer will be aluminum, then MCPCB will means Aluminum Core PCB. If you need Copper Core PCB, Steel Core PCB, or Stainless steel core PCB, you should add special notes in drawing.
