The Key to Automotive PCB Material Selection

        Automotive PCB are vital components in automotive electronic systems, which carries electronic components and provide electrical connections. The correct selection of automotive PCB materials is critical to ensuring the performance, reliability, and safety of automotive electronic systems. So how do you choose?

 

1. High Temperature Resistance

Automotive electronic systems often operate in high temperature environments, such as inside the engine compartment. Therefore, it is crucial to select automotive PCB materials with excellent high temperature resistance. Polyimide (PI) is like a magical "thermal insulation cloak", keeping automotive boards cool in electronic systems.

 

 

2. Vibration Resistance

The cars will be subject to various vibrations and shocks when driving, so automotive PCB materials must have good vibration resistance to ensure that electronic components will not loosen or be damaged. Choosing fiberglass-reinforced epoxy is like adding a strong armor to your car.

 

 

3. Chemical Corrosion Resistance

Automotive electronic systems may be exposed to a variety of chemicals and fluids, such as gasoline, lubricants, and coolants. Therefore, it is crucial to select automotive PCB materials with good chemical corrosion resistance. Polyimide (PI) materials generally have excellent chemical corrosion resistance.

 

 

4. Thermal Conductivity

Some automotive electronic systems require effective heat dissipation, so the thermal conductivity of automotive PCB materials is also one of the factors to consider. Aluminum base PCB is like a "magic cooler" and is suitable for application scenarios that require efficient heat dissipation. But sometimes using aluminum PCB may increase manufacturing costs, and the weight of aluminum may also become a problem. Therefore, when considering thermal conductivity, it is necessary to weigh the specific application scenarios to select the most appropriate material.

 

 

5. Size and Weight

Automotive electronic systems usually have strict requirements on size and weight, so the density and weight of automotive PCB materials also need to be considered.

 

 

6. Cost-effectiveness

Choosing the appropriate automotive PCB material should take into account its performance, reliability, and manufacturing cost. High-performance materials usually increase costs, but they can improve the reliability and life of the system and may be more economical in the long run.

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
