High quality printed circuit board factory? Best Technology, establish on June 28, 2006, is a Hong Kong registered company whom focused on one-stop solution provider of FPC, Rigid-flex, MCPCB, FR4 PCB, Ceramic PCB, Special PCB such as Heavy Copper (up to 20 OZ), extra thin PCB (0.10, 0.15mm), and PCB assembly service. Read additional information on pcb assembly service. The white silkscreen layer is applied on top of the soldermask layer. The silkscreen adds letters, numbers, and symbols to the PCB that allow for easier assembly and indicators for humans to better understand the board. We often use silkscreen labels to indicate what the function of each pin or LED. Silkscreen is most commonly white but any ink color can be used. Black, gray, red, and even yellow silkscreen colors are widely available; it is, however, uncommon to see more than one color on a single board.

Double sided flex circuits consists with double sided copper conductors and can be connected from both sides. It allows more complicated circuit designs, more components assembled. The major material used are copper foil, polyimide and coverlay. Adhesiveless stack up is popular for better dimensional stability, high temperature, thinner thickness. Dual access flexible circuit board refer to the flex circuit which can be accessed from both top and bottom side but only has only layer of conductor trace. Copper thickness 1OZ and coverlay 1mil, it similar with 1 layer FPC and opposite side FFC. There’re coverlay openings on both sides of flex circuit so that there’re solderable PAD on both top and bottom sides, that is similar with double sided FPC, but dual access flex circuit board has different stack up because of only one copper trace, so no plating process is need to make plated through hole (PTH) to connect between top and bottom side, and trace layout is much more simple. Currently our mouthy capability is 260,000 square feet (28,900 square meter), more than 1,000 different boards will be completed. We also provide expediate service, so that urgent boards can be shipped out within 24 hours.

Tg means Glass Transition Temperature. As flammability of printed circuit board (PCB) is V-0 (UL 94-V0), so if the temperature exceeds designated Tg value, the board will changed from glassy state to rubbery state and then the function of PCB will be affected. If working temperature of your product is higher than normal (130-140C), then have to use High Tg PCB material which is > 170C. and popular PCB high value are 170C, 175C, and 180C. Normally the FR4 circuit board Tg value should be at least 10-20C higher than working temperature of product. If you 130TG board, working temperature will be lower than 110C; if use 170 high TG board, then maximum working temperature should be lower than 150C.

While Flexible PCBs offer significant advantages, they are also prone to damages. Broadly damages can accrue from two factors: environmental factors and problems that account for issues at the design/fabrication stages. Let us look at both these aspects in some detail. Several environmental factors can cause damage to PCBs, including moisture, static electricity, dust, extreme temperatures, chemical corrosion, and pests. For example, if the PCB is stored in an environment with a lot of moisture, it can destroy the flexible PCB. Moisture can result in a short. Also, given that molds can grow in a damp environment, it will result in a circuit failure. The storage area must be free of any static creating agents. Storing PCBs in carpeted rooms, for example, can result in damage to printed circuit boards on account of the static electricity generated.

Flex PCB ( FPC ) is stands for Flexible Printed Circuits, or sometimes we just call it Flexible Circuits or Flex Circuits, which is the electronic component developed to allow electronic goods to become smaller and lighter, and it have been widely used from 1980s in USA & Europe, and then widely spread out around the world. Since flex circuits (flexible circuit) has excellent working efficiency and strong heat-resistance, it is widely used as a core component of all electronic goods such as cameras, computers and peripheral equipments, mobile phones, video & audio units, camcorders, printers, DVD, TFT LCD, satellite equipment, military equipments, and medical instruments. Anyway, Best Technology flex pcb manufacturer will provide OEM/ODM service. Discover extra information at bstpcb.com.

Sometimes people will use abbreviation “MCPCB”, instead of the full name as Metal Core PCB, or Metal Core Printed Circuit Board. And also used different word refers the core/base, so you will also see different name of Metal Core PCB, such as Metal PCB, Metal Base PCB, Metal Backed PCB, Metal Clad PCB and Metal Core Board and so on. MCPCBs are used instead of traditional FR4 or CEM3 PCBs because of the ability to efficiently dissipate heat away from the components. This is achieved by using a Thermally Conductive Dielectric Layer.
