What are the Advantages of Copper Base PCBs

        Copper base PCB, that is, a printed circuit board with copper as the base material, is widely used in various field of electronic products, especially in power electronics, power modules, LED lighting and automotive electronics. Compared with other types of PCBs, copper base PCBs have many unique advantages, which make them irreplaceable in specific applications. So what are the advantages of copper base PCBs?

 

1. Excellent Heat Dissipation Performance

Copper has a higher thermal conductivity (about 400W/m·K), which is much higher than aluminum (about 200W/m·K) and FR4 substrates (about 0.3W/m·K). This makes Copper base PCBs excellent in heat dissipation performance, and is particularly suitable for application scenarios that require efficient heat dissipation, such as high-power LEDs, power modules, and high-frequency electronic devices.

 

 

2. High Mechanical Strength

Copper-based materials have high hardness and strength and can withstand greater mechanical stress. Therefore, copper base PCBs have more advantages in application fields such as automotive electronics, aerospace, and industrial control that require higher structural strength.

 

 

3. Excellent Electrical Performance

Copper-based materials have extremely high electrical conductivity, which can effectively reduce the resistance of circuit boards and reduce signal losses during signal transmission, thereby improving electrical performance. Especially in the application field of high-frequency and high-speed signal transmission, its advantages are particularly significant.

 

 

4. Low Coefficient of Thermal Expansion

Copper has a low coefficient of thermal expansion (approximately 16.5×10⁻⁶/°C), which helps reduce the impact of thermal stress on PCBs, thereby improving product reliability and service life.

 

 

5. Suitable for High Power Applications

Since copper base PCBs have excellent thermal conductivity and structural strength, they can effectively provide good heat dissipation support and stability guarantee for high-power devices. This makes copper base PCBs particularly suitable for applications such as power electronics, solar panels, and high-power lighting.

 

 

6. Environmental Protection and Recyclability

As a recyclable metal material, copper has certain advantages in environmental protection. For example, discarded copper base PCBs can be recycled to reduce their negative impact on the environment.

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
