We can’t deny that flexible PCBs are a suitable circuitry solution for most devices. Their flexibility, design, and assembly are the foremost factors that make them reliable and durable. Yet, what other factors determine the suitability of flexible PCB? Another crucial factor is the right choice of material for the PCBs to enhance performance. Therefore, this article […]

For most industrial products that work under complex or harsh application environments, it is very important to make the right decision on circuit design and PCB material selection. Making a balance between cost, specifications, and performance during FR4 Tg PCB material selection is crucial to the final designation. The difference in Tg value means not […]

The thickness of the copper foil is usually expressed in oz (oz). 1 oz refers to the thickness of 1oz copper evenly covering an area of ​​1 square foot, which is about 1.4mil, the weight per unit area to express the average thickness of copper foil. For example, 1 ounce = 35 um, 2 ounces […]

What is EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Service)? EMS (Electronics Manufacturing Service) refers to providing electronic product brand owners or product designers with a series of supply chain services from components procurement, manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, and even part of design services. The supply chain management of EMS mainly includes raw material procurement, manufacturing, warehousing and logistics, […]

Rigid Flex PCB boards are one of the most widely used printed circuit boards in industrial applications. Their versatility is one of the main reasons behind their popularity. They consist of hybridization of hardboard and flexible circuits, implying the manufacturing similar to hardboards with layers of flexible circuitry passing throughout the circuits. Their main purpose […]

What is FR-4 material? FR-4 is not a kind of material but a material grade. It represents the material code of a fire-resistant grade. The meaning it represents is a material property that must be able to extinguish itself after the resin material is burned. There are a few FR-4 materials used in PCB circuit […]

PCB serves as a backbone of electronic equipment in the modern world. It provides a pathway for the current to flow between the components to enable them to make the device function. It is an integral part of several devices like calculators, smartphones, tablets, wearable gadgets, laptops, computers, and digital clocks. Plus, there are various […]

Capacitance is the amount of free charge stored at a given potential difference, measured in farads (F). The charge moves in the electric field and accumulates in the capacitive medium, and the stored charge becomes the capacitance. Capacitance is numerically equal to the ratio of the amount of charge on one conducting plate to the […]

Printed Circuit Boards are of different types, employing distinct materials according to their usage and performance. Aluminum and fiber glass (FR4) are also two of the PCB materials that the manufacturers use to design the circuit boards as per the client’s requirements. However, it is significant to note that these two materials differ from each […]

The manufacturers construct Rigid PCB boards to offer a rigid base for the electrical components. This property makes them cost-efficient. Hence is one of the reasons why rigid PCB boards are in high demand in the market. Fr4 Rigid Boards and Rigid-flex Boards are two well-known types of rigid boards. Each of them is unique […]
