What is a PCB teardrop? A PCB teardrop is an additional copper pad, either straight or circular, located at the connection point between a pad or via and a trace, or when a trace transitions between different widths. For example, if part of your trace width changes from 10 mil to 4 mil, a teardrop
EMI coating is a thin film made from materials that shield electromagnetic interference signals, capable of blocking the propagation of electromagnetic waves. EMI coating is typically made from conductive materials and can be applied via adhesion or spraying to the external surfaces or internal structures of various electronic devices. EMI signal shielding coatings can be
A graphics card circuit board, also known as a graphics card motherboard or graphics card PCB, is a circuit board used to transmit signals from the graphics processing unit (GPU). It is a very important component inside a computer, working in conjunction with the CPU and memory to ensure that the computer can handle high-load
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
What is coverlay in fpc?FPC coverlay is polymer film made from materials such as polyimide (PI), primarily used to protect and insulate the external circuits of flexible PCB. FPC coverlay is the earliest and most widely used technology in the application of cover layers for flexible printed circuit boards. FPC coverlay primarily serves to protect
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. Especially during critical processes such as solder paste printing and reflow soldering, even minor operational errors or environmental factors can cause solder paste to accidentally adhere to the gold

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.
