Surface Flatness Requirements for Gold Bonding Areas on Microwave Circuit Boards

PCB Thermal Design: A Comprehensive Analysis from Theory to Practice Thermal issues are often the “Achilles’ heel” of many electronic products, especially in modern PCB designs with high integration and high power consumption. I remember a project I took on last year for an industrial control board, where the main chip had a power consumption … Read more

Comparative Analysis of PCB Ceramic Circuit Boards: ENIG vs ENEPIG

Comparative Analysis of PCB Ceramic Circuit Boards: ENIG vs ENEPIG

Metal is applied to exposed pads using an organic coating, known as surface treatment. The surface finish protects copper pads from scratches and oxidation while facilitating soldering in a reflow oven. Although there are various types of surface treatments, ENIG and ENEPIG are two common types. Manufacturers typically use them for ceramicPCBs, flexible boards, and … Read more

Understanding the Classification of Circuit Boards (The Most Comprehensive Guide)

Understanding the Classification of Circuit Boards (The Most Comprehensive Guide)

1: By Layer Count Circuit boards can be classified by layer count into three main categories: single-sided boards, double-sided boards, and multi-layer boards. First, single-sided boards have components concentrated on one side and traces on the other. Since traces only appear on one side, this type of PCB is called a single-sided circuit board. Single-sided … Read more

How Long Does It Take for PCB Coated with Conformal Coating to Dry?

How Long Does It Take for PCB Coated with Conformal Coating to Dry?

The PCB circuit board, after being coated with conformal coating, can effectively prevent moisture from damaging the circuit board. Prolonged exposure to moisture can significantly reduce the insulation resistance between conductors, accelerate high-speed decomposition, lower the Q factor, and corrode the conductors. Coating with conformal coating can effectively protect the performance of the circuit board … Read more
