The Difference between Copper Base PCB and Aluminum PCB

Both copper base PCB and aluminum PCB belong to PCB IMS boards, which are composed of circuit layers, insulating layers, and metal base layers. It has special magnetic permeability, excellent heat dissipation, as well as good processing performance, high mechanical strength and other characteristics. And the characteristics of good processing performance and high mechanical strength. So what is the difference between copper base PCB and aluminum PCB?

 

1. The base materials used are different. This is obvious. The aluminum PCB uses aluminum as the base material, while the copper base PCB uses copper as the base material.

 

 

2. The thermal conductivity is different. The copper base PCB has the best thermal conductivity among the IMS boards, and the thermal conductivity is better than that of the aluminum PCB.

 

 

3. The prices are different. Copper base PCB are the most expensive IMS boards, and aluminum PCB are relatively cheap.

 

 

4. The technology is different. The aluminum PCB is simpler than the copper base PCB in the production process, so the delivery time is also different.

 

 

5. Copper base PCB can be machined into metallized holes, while aluminum PCB cannot.

 

 

6. The elastic modulus of copper and aluminum is quite different, so the warpage and expansion and contraction of the copper substrate will be smaller than that of the aluminum PCB.

 

 

To sum up, copper base PCB and aluminum PCB have their own advantages, and customers can choose a more suitable one according to their own needs or the application of the end product.

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
