Circuit card assembly (CCA) is thin, flat board of dielectric material with conductive paths or tracks etched on their surface. In order to automate the production of CCAs, surface mount technology (SMT) and through-hole assembly machines are often used. Those responsible for the layout design and assembly of this form of manufacturing must have extensive
Insulate Metal Substrate, as a type of computer motherboard, aims to improve thermal efficiency and mechanical strength by applying metallisation to a thick substrate. It is also known as aluminium substrate, aluminium cladding or metal clad PCB (MC PCB), and even thermally conductive PCB (in fact, all PCBs are thermally conductive). Compared to the regular
Insulate metal substrates are made using a unique insulating material that presses the copper foil of the circuit board to the metal substrate. The metal substrate is specially treated to increase adhesion and resilience, which allows the board to withstand the mechanical and thermal stresses of many applications. The insulating material is a special blend
Semiconductor base material is an indispensable component in the development of contemporary advanced manufacturing, which is widely used in the production of various electronic devices such as transistors, light-emitting diodes and solar cells. In the manufacturing process of semiconductor products, selecting the right substrate is a crucial part of the process, as the quality of
PCB board to be retained on the part of the copper foil pre-plated layer of lead and tin resist layer, and then chemically corrode off the rest of the copper foil, known as etching. So, what are the types of PCB board etching and commonly used etching agents? 1.Types of etching graphic plating method: etching
The printed circuit board switches are the components used to control the switching state of a circuit, also known as a switching circuit board or switch board. It usually consists of one or more triggers and controllers, and is used in circuits to control the on/off state of the circuit, thus acting as a switch
Ceramic pcb materials, with their excellent physical and chemical properties, are increasingly being used in electronics, aerospace, medical and energy applications. In this paper, we will discuss the properties of ceramic pcb materials, their preparation process and their wide range of applications.

A water temp pcb is a circuit assembly specifically designed to monitor and control the temperature of water. Its core function is to ensure that various water-related systems operate efficiently and safely within a set temperature range. Such circuit boards typically contain several key components to enable precise management and regulation of water temperature. ComponentsTemperature
Solder beads refer to the small spherical or dotted solder that appears on the pads or on the metal layer on the backside after SMT circuit board assembly. The diameter of the bead is roughly between 0.2mm and 0.4mm, but there are also more than this range, mainly concentrated around the chip resistive components. The

In modern electronic products, the design and selection of connectors are critical to the performance, stability and reliability of the entire
HF board refers to special circuit boards with high electromagnetic frequency, which are used in the field of high frequency (frequency greater than 300MHZ or wavelength less than 1 metre) and microwave (frequency greater than 3GHZ or wavelength less than 0.1 metre), and the circuit boards are produced by using some of the processes of
Printed circuit board radio frequency (RF) chip, also known as printed circuit board rf chip, is the core components in the field of wireless communications and are responsible for converting RF signals to digital signals or digital signals to RF signals for wireless transmission of information. RF chips are usually composed of several key parts,
A double sided PCB board (or 2-layer PCB) is a printed circuit board coated with copper on both sides, top and bottom. There is an insulating layer in the middle. To use circuits on both sides, there must be a proper circuit connection between the two sides. The ‘bridge’ between such circuits is called a
