Introduction:Recent market trends show that high-density interconnection technology, or HDI, is growing more than twice as fast as conventional lines. HDI circuit usually means that the pitch of the circuit is less than 8mils (200um) and the aperture is less than 10mils (250um). It is estimated that the most significant applications driving the growth of HDI flexible printed circuit boards are in mobile communications and computer devices like PDA. Other high-growth applications include tape fle...

Introduction:Today, I would like to ask you a question, when you are just a beginner in the PCB field, whether it is the same as me, every time I see the circuit diagram, I think "oh my god! Am I a fool? If not, why can't I read any of these circuit diagrams and why on earth am I taking this course?” I think a lot of people will be confused as me, when we face the crisscross dense lines but do not know how to start. In fact, circuit diagrams are easy to understand and easy to use. The k...

Introduction:Alloy, , is the best solder in the reflowing process. Compared with the traditional solder, it has two disadvantages in terms of manufacturability as following:1) The melting point is high. It has a melting point of about 217 degrees Celsius and a complete melting temperature of 235 degrees Celsius. Therefore, we must raise the manufacturing temperature in the manufacturing process, otherwise it will cause a series of adverse consequences.2) Wettability is slightly worse. Th...

Introduction:Surface-mount technology (SMT) is a method for producing electronic circuits in which the components are mounted or placed directly onto the surface of printed circuit boards (PCBs). An electronic device so made is called a surface-mount device (SMD). In industry, it has largely replaced the through-hole technology construction method of fitting components with wire leads into holes in the circuit board. Both technologies can be used on the same board, with the through-hole technolo...

Introduction:Rigid-flex PCB is a new type of PCB which has both the durability of rigid PCB and the adaptability of flexible PCB. Of all types of printed circuit boards, rigid-flex PCBs are the most resistant to harsh application environments and are favored by manufacturers of medical and military equipment.Compared with the common FR-4 rigid-flex substrates, the aluminum rigid-flex substrates have better heat dissipation performance and higher service life. The binding force of the PCB has a c...

Introduction of Application of Lead-free Surface Finish Techniques:Whether lead-free HASL can be popularized will depend on the results of the scientific study and its promotion and influence, but its smooth surface and high temperature process problems may be obstacles. OSP technology is widely used when a flatter surface is required, long shelf life is not required, and multiple heating applications are not required. OSP is likely to replace HASL technology in a large number of general applica...

Introduction:As the wiring density of flexible substrate becomes higher and higher, the circuit made by subtractive process can no longer meet the requirements of circuit elaboration. Therefore, the industry gradually turns to the semi-additive manufacturing process. At the same time, some thin flexible substrates and embedded flexible substrates manufacturing technology is also gradually applied in the production of mass production.Electrodeposition Polyimide Process:The protective layer of fle...
