What Industry Standards does Automotive PCB Need to Meet

Automotive PCB must be designed and manufactured to adhere to a series of strict industry standards and specifications to ensure their reliability, safety and performance in automotive electronic systems. Here are some common industry standards that automotive PCB need to meet: 

1. IPC Standard

Association Connecting Electronic Industries (IPC) is an international standardization organization responsible for related fields in the electronics industry. The organization has developed a series of normative standards such as IPC-A-600 (Printed Circuit Board Acceptance Standard) and IPC-6012 (Printed Circuit Board Manufacturing Standard) to provide guidance for the design, manufacturing and assembly of printed circuit boards. These standards cover every aspect from raw material selection to final product acceptance.

 

 

The IPC-6012 standard clearly stipulates PCB materials, circuit layout, hole size, and pad quality. The shipping standards of PCB factories are usually divided into IPC Level 1, IPC Level 2 and IPC Level 3. Among them, IPC Level 3 is the highest standard, followed by IPC Level 2 and IPC Level 1. Based on actual application requirements, manufacturers can flexibly select appropriate grade standards.

 

 

2. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 Standards

ISO 9001: As the global benchmark for quality management, ISO 9001 focuses on an organization's quality management system, requiring manufacturers to ensure that products and services meet customer requirements and to continuously improve their quality management systems. In the automotive PCB manufacturing process, following ISO 9001 can help manufacturers establish effective quality management processes and improve product quality and customer satisfaction.

 

 

ISO 14001: The automotive industry is increasingly emphasizing on environmental sustainability, and ISO 14001 provides organizations with a framework for environmental management. The standard requires organizations to identify and control impacts on the environment and to commit to continuous environmental improvement. In the automotive PCB manufacturing process, following ISO 14001 can help manufacturers reduce environmental pollution and resource waste and improve sustainability.

 

 

3. TS 16949 Standard

TS 16949 is a quality management system standard specific to the automotive industry, which further supplements and refines the special requirements of the automotive manufacturing industry based on ISO 9001. The standard emphasizes the management and quality control of the automotive supply chain and aims to improve the quality level and product consistency of automotive components manufacturers.

 

 

TS 16949 requires manufacturers to establish strict quality management systems and work with suppliers to ensure that all raw materials and components meet strict quality standards. This is especially important for automotive PCB manufacturers, as their products directly impact the performance and safety of the car.

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
