On a graphics card pcb, the power supply section is just as critical as the graphics processing unit (GPU). If the GPU is the ‘brain’ of the graphics card, then the power supply section is its ‘heart.’ Without a robust ‘heart’ providing foundational support, even the most powerful ‘brain’ cannot function properly. Additionally, the design […]

PCB overmolding is a technique that involves coating printed circuit boards (PCBs) with protective polymer resin. This process is designed to protect PCBs from external factors such as humidity, dirt, and temperature fluctuations. During the pcb overmolding process, the polymer resin is injected and cured around the PCB circuitry, forming a tight and secure seal.
PCB warping is a common quality issue in surface mount technology (SMT) processing, severely affecting the performance and reliability of electronic products. This phenomenon is not caused by a single factor but rather the combined effect of multiple factors. Gaining a deep understanding of these underlying causes is key to effectively preventing and resolving PCB
In the field of electronic product manufacturing, solder contamination on PCB gold fingers is a common and challenging issue that significantly impacts product performance and reliability.

RF connectors are electrical connectors used for transmitting radio frequency signals. They are also referred to as coaxial connectors within the industry, as RF connectors are typically connected to coaxial cables and also have a coaxial structure. Classification of RF connectors:By connection interface structure:Threaded connection: Uses series such as SMC, SMA, TNC, N, UHF, 7/16,
Microstrip patch antennas and their arrays may not be seen much but are the most widely used form of antenna. They are simple in structure and can be formed by a dielectric, a metal conductor patch on top of the dielectric, and a ground plane. Even the intervening dielectric can be an air structure. The
High frequency pcb is special circuit board dedicated to higher electromagnetic frequencies, applicable to high-frequency (frequency over 300MHz and wavelength less than 1 metre) and microwave (frequency higher than 3GHz, wavelength less than 0.1 metre) fields. This type of PCB is usually in the microwave substrate copper-clad board, through part of the use of ordinary
What is a high-Tg PCB? What are the advantages of using high Tg PCBs? When the temperature of a high Tg printed circuit board rises to a certain range, the substrate transitions from a ‘glass state’ to a ‘rubber state,’ and this temperature is referred to as the board’s glass transition temperature (Tg). In other
What is 94v-0 on a pcb? The 94v-0 standard is a standard set for the combustion characteristics of plastic materials in electronic and electrical products. It was established by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), a highly authoritative insurance laboratory in the United States. This standard specifies the specific behaviour of plastic materials when exposed to flames, with
The trend in PCB design is moving towards lighter, thinner, and smaller boards. In addition to high-density circuit board design, there is also the important and complex field of three-dimensional connection assembly for rigid-flex circuit boards.
