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. Rigid-flex boards are also known as rigid-flexible boards. With the emergence and development of FPC circuit boards, rigid-flex circuit
An integrated circuit socket, also known as an IC socket, is an interface used to connect integrated circuits. It allows integrated circuits to be easily inserted and removed, facilitating testing and replacement. This type of socket is widely used in various electronic devices, particularly those that require frequent replacement or testing of integrated circuits. An
Paste flux is a key ingredient in solder paste, mainly used to clean the metal surface of oxides during the soldering process and to promote the wetting and flow of the solder, thus ensuring a strong and reliable joint.

Dev Board (Development Board) is a hardware prototyping platform for embedded system design, usually integrating processor, memory, peripheral interfaces and other modules for software debugging, algorithm verification or product prototyping. According to different core architectures, they are mainly divided into the following three categories: Using a dev board as a development tool for embedded system
Eutectic soldering, also known as low melting point alloy soldering, is a specific soldering technique. The process involves the removal of unstable oxide layers at the interface between the chip and the gold-plated base by gentle friction at specific temperatures and pressures, which causes the contacting surfaces to melt and form a liquid phase. Subsequently,
