SMT process flow
What is osp? OSP is a RoHS compliant process for the surface treatment of copper foil on printed circuit boards. It is short for Organic Solderability Preservatives, which translates to Organic Solderability Film, also known as Copper Protectant, and also known as Preflux in English. method to grow a layer of organic film. This film
In the PCB industry, 1OZ copper thickness means the thickness of 1OZ of copper uniformly laid flat over an area of 1 square foot (FT2). It is the average thickness of copper foil expressed in terms of weight per unit area. It is expressed by the formula, i.e.,1OZ = 28.35g/ FT2 (FT2 is square feet,
In modern circuit design, the problem of signal interference is undoubtedly a core issue, which directly determines the performance and reliability of the entire system. For PCB engineers, signal interference design is a crucial skill and challenge. In practice, we found that there are four main sources of interference in PCB design: power supply noise,
Circuit board cutting refers to the separation of a circuit board into two or several pieces according to a reasonable line without affecting its effectiveness. Common circuit board cutting methods include straight line cutting (V-cutting), milling cutting, wire cutting and laser cutting. Each of these cutting methods has its own characteristics, and the choice depends
Copper sulfate electroplating in PCB plating occupies an extremely important position, acid copper plating good or bad directly affect the quality of copper plating layer and related mechanical properties, and the subsequent processing of a certain impact, so how to control the quality of copper sulfate electroplating is an important part of PCB plating. The
Etching is part of the PCB manufacturing process and is used to create cutter traces on printed circuit boards. This is accomplished by removing excess copper from the copper laminate, leaving only the desired circuitry on it. There are two types of etching: dry etching and wet etching:Wet Etching: Wet etching uses an acid solution
Circuit boards carry various electronic components and are connected through complex wiring to realize the function of the device. However, with the growth of the use of time, the circuit board will inevitably fail, which will require circuit board repair. IC board repair is not only a technical work, but also an art, requiring repairers
Circuit board glue is a specialized adhesive used in the manufacture of circuit boards. Its main function is to fix the electronic components on the circuit board to ensure the stability and reliability of the circuit. Compared with traditional soldering methods, circuit board glue has better insulating properties and higher temperature resistance, which can effectively
A glass PCB board is a printed circuit board that uses glass as its substrate. While traditional PCBs usually use paper or plastic substrates, glass substrate PCBs use glass as the substrate material. Glass PCB board is widely used in electronic products that require high performance and reliability, such as flat panel displays, smartphones, and
A stencil circuit board, also known as an SMT stencil, is an essential tool in the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing process.
