What is FR-4? FR-4 is a grade for flame-retardant fiberglass reinforced epoxy material. Therefore, FR-4 PCB offers higher level of heat resistance than standard PCB. The FR-4 board is divided into Three classification, determined by the number of copper trace layers:1. Single layer PCB2. Two layer PCB3. Multilayer PCBHigh TG PCB SpecificationsThe “Tg” means the glass transition temperature of PCB, it indicates the point at which the PCB material will begin to transition (check this post...

Typically the depth of the v-cut is 3/4 of the thickness of the board. So if you want to do v-cuts we recommend the center of the v-cut line to any traces. Please bear this in mind when designing your panels.V-Cut machine

Flexible circuits (also variously referred to around the globe as flex circuits, flexible printed circuit boards, flex print, flexi-circuits) are members of electronic and interconnection family. They consist of a thin insulating polymer film having conductive circuit patterns affixed thereto and typically supplied with a thin polymer coating to protect the conductor circuits. The technology has been used for interconnecting electronic devices since the 1950s in one form or another. It is now on...

As circuit design becomes increasingly complex and high-speed, how to ensure the integrity of various signals (especially high-speed signals), that is, to ensure signal quality, has becomes a problem.At this point, will take advantage of transmission line theory to analyze. Control signal characteristic impedance matching becomes the key point. Non-strict impedance control will cause considerable signal reflections and signal distortions, leading to design failures. Common signals such as PCI bu...

Automated optical inspection (AOI) is an automated visual inspection of printed circuit board manufacture where a camera autonomously scans the device under test for both catastrophic failure (such as missing component) and quality defects.It is commonly used in the manufacturing process because it is a non-contact test method. This guarantees the high reliability of Multi-CB multilayer circuit boards.It is especially important for the following application areas:l Line width violationsl Spaci...

High density interconnect (HDI) PCB, represent one of the fastest growing technologies in PCBs. Because of its higher circuitry density than traditional circuit boards, the HDI PCB design is able to incorporate smaller vias and capture pads, and higher connection pad densities. HDI Boards contain blind and buried vias and often contain micro vias of 0.006 or less in diameter. By using HDI technology, designers now have the ability to place more components on both sides of the raw PCB if desired....

A ball grid array (BGA) is a type of surface-mount packaging used for integrated circuits. BGA packages are used to permanently mount devices such as microprocessors. A BGA can provide more interconnection pins than can be put on a dual in-line or flat package, each pin is provided with a solder ball. All connections are distributed in a uniform surface grid or matrix on the component. The whole bottom surface of the device can be used instead of just the perimeter. The leads are also on average...

SMD Adhesive is also called Surface Mount Adhesive.Before soldering, components with pin contacts or SMDs are often bonded to the PCB with adhesive. This allows, for example, several capacitors, electrolytic capacitors and coils to be positioned on a circuit board and cured within just a few seconds to prevent their falling over or sliding out of position on the PCB. The secured components can then be reflow-soldered in a single work step, which saves time and speeds up production. The SMD adhes...
