3 Processing Methods of PCB Vias

      Vias are one of the important components of a PCB. A via is mainly composed of two parts, one is the drill hole in the middle, and other is the pad area around the drill hole. In the PCB manufacturing process, there are 3 methods of processing vias. What are these?

 

1. Vias covered with solder mask ink

Vias covered with solder mask ink means that the solder ring of the via is not exposed and covered with solder mask ink, which not only ensures the electrical performance, but also avoids the risk of short circuit with other components during use.

 

 

2. Vias with solder mask opening

Vias with solder mask opening means that the solder ring of the via is exposed and not covered with solder mask ink. This processing method is similar to the processing method for plug-in holes. The plug-in holes generally require opened and tinned. This kind of processing is usually carried out when there are special needs for vias with solder mask opening. If the surface treatment is HASL, the vias treated in this way can be tinned and soldered like the patch pads.

 

 

3. Plug Via with Solder Mask

Plug Via with Solder Mask refers to plugging the entire via with solder mask ink. The best standard for plug via with solder mask is that via hole is opaque, that is, it cannot be seen through from one side of the hole to the other side.

 

 

To sum up, the 3 processing methods of PCB vias have their own characteristics, and you can choose the appropriate via processing method according to your own product attributes.

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
