Circuit Board Composition and Function

The PCB is made of different components and various complicated process technologies. The PCB structure has a single-layer, double-layer and multi-layer structure. Different layer structures have different manufacturing methods.

 

 

First, the printed circuit board is mainly composed of pads, vias, mounting holes, wires, components, connectors, filling, electrical boundaries, etc. The main functions of each part are as follows:

 

Pad: It is used to weld metal holes of component pins.

 

Via Holes: It is used to connect metal holes of component pins between layers.

 

Mounting Hole: It is used to fix the printed circuit boards.

 

Wire: It is used to connect the electrical network copper film of component pins.

 

Connector: It is used for components connected between circuit boards.

 

Filling: It is used for copper plating of the ground wire network, which can effectively reduce the impedance.

 

Electrical boundary: It is used to determine the size of the circuit board, and all components of the circuit board must not exceed this boundary.

 

 

Second, the common layer structure of printed circuit boards includes three types of single-layer boards, double-layer boards and multi-layer boards. The brief descriptions of these three layer structures are as follows:

 

Single layer board: A circuit board with copper on only one side and no copper on the other side. The components are usually placed on the side without copper, and the copper side is mainly used for routing and soldering.

 

Double layer board: A circuit board with copper on both sides, usually called one side as a top layer and the other side as a bottom layer. Generally, the top layer is used as the component placement surface, and the bottom layer is used as the component welding surface.

 

Multi-layer board: That is, a circuit board containing multiple working layers, in addition to the top layer and the bottom layer, also contains several intermediate layers. Generally, the intermediate layer can be used as a wire layer, a signal layer, a power layer, and a ground layer. The layers are insulated from each other, and the connection between layers is usually achieved via holes.

 

 

Third, the printed circuit board includes many types of working layers, such as signal layer, protective layer, silkscreen layer, internal layer, etc. The functions of various layers are briefly introduced as follows:

 

Signal Layer: It is mainly used to place components or routing. Protel DXP usually contains 30 middle layers, namely Mid Layer1 ~ Mid Layer30. The middle layer is used to lay out signal lines, and the top and bottom layers are used to place components or copper.

 

Protective Layer: It is mainly used to ensure that parts of the circuit board that do not require tinned are not tinned.

 

Silkscreen Layer: It is mainly used to print the serial number, production number, company name, etc. of components on the printed circuit board.

 

Internal Layer: It is mainly used as a signal routing layer. Protel DXP contains a total of 16 internal layers.

 

Other layer: It is mainly includes 4 types of layers.

 

Drill Guide: It is mainly used for the position of drilling holes on the printed circuit board.

What are the Advantages and Disadvantages of the OSP Technology

图片
     With the continuous development of the electronics industry, there are more and more PCB surface treatment technologies, and each technology has its own merits. OSP is a commonly used surface treatment technology process, what are its advantages and disadvantages?       Compared with other surface treatment technologies, OSP is somewhat different.  It uses a chemical method to produce an organic film on the clean bare copper surface, which acts as a barrier between the copper and the air.   OSP is organic, not  metallic,   and its cost is lower than most surface treatment technologies.     Advantages: With this organic film, it can resist the attack of moisture in the air without being oxidized before welding,  can withstand the test of high temperature, maintain good activity, and has a good tinning ability.  This layer of organic film will not cause damage to the sheet material. It can be easily removed by the solder resist during soldering. It can solder the copper wire and the

What PCBA Problems Can AOI Inspect

图片
        With the development of science and technology, the volume of PCBA is getting smaller and more precise, and some defects in processing cannot be distinguished with the naked eye, so AOI has appeared.  So what PCBA problems can AOI inspect?   The working principle of AOI is to first collect and input parameters such as images, component positions, solder joints and other parameters of the good-quality board.   During the inspection, the instrument automatically scans the circuit board and automatically captures the image, and then compares the collected data with the pre-entered parameters to determine whether the characteristics of solder joints, components and other aspects are consistent. If the data is inconsistent, the d efect  will be flagged through the display for maintenance personnel to repair.     AOI is mainly used to inspect solder paste printing, component placement and soldering. For example: too much or too little solder paste,   solder paste printing offset;  co

The Role of Shield Cover in PCB Design

图片
  SHENZHEN HOYOGO ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. specializes in providing overall PCBA electronics manufacturing services, and can also provide customers with a full range of value-added services: including SMT assembly, PCB program development, schematic design, PCB layout and routing, Bom list matching, component procurement and other services. Do you know the role of shield cover in PCB design? What is a Shield Cover? The shield cover is an alloy metal cover, which is a vital component to reduce the radiation of the display. It is used in MID or VR products, which can effectively reduce the mutual interference between modules. It is common in the isolation between the main control function module and the power module and the Wifi module. The  P urpose of  S hield  Cover   C lip Generally, there are products that use wireless communication, and shield frames are usually designed on the circuit board to isolate electromagnetic interference (EMI). However, to make the shield frame fun
