Understanding High-Frequency PCBs Before diving into the design rules, let’s define what we mean by high-frequency PCBs. These are circuit boards that operate at frequencies above 100 MHz, where the wavelength of the signal becomes comparable to the dimensions of the PCB traces. At these frequencies, the behavior of the […]

Introduction to PCBA Box Build Assembly PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) box build is a comprehensive manufacturing process that involves the assembly of electronic components onto a printed circuit board (PCB) and the subsequent integration of the PCB into a complete electronic device or system, often housed within a protective […]

What is a 4 Layer PCB? A 4 layer PCB, as the name suggests, is a printed circuit board that consists of four conductive layers. These layers are typically arranged in a sandwich-like structure, with two inner layers and two outer layers. The inner layers are primarily used for power […]

Introduction to Hybrid PCBs Hybrid PCBs, also known as hybrid printed circuit boards, are a combination of different types of materials and technologies used to create a single circuit board. These boards are designed to take advantage of the strengths of each material and technology while minimizing their weaknesses. Hybrid […]

What is a 6-Layer PCB? A 6-layer PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a type of multilayer board that consists of six conductive copper layers laminated together with insulating material in between each layer. The six layers are usually arranged in a specific order to optimize signal integrity, power delivery, and […]

Introduction to Aluminum Nitride PCB Aluminum Nitride (AlN) is a ceramic material that has been gaining popularity in the electronics industry due to its unique properties. One of the most prominent applications of AlN is in the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs). Aluminum Nitride PCBs offer several advantages over […]

Introduction to PCB Surface Mount Technology PCB Surface Mount Technology (SMT) has revolutionized the electronics manufacturing industry since its introduction in the 1960s. SMT allows for the placement of electronic components directly onto the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB), rather than through holes in the board. This technology […]

Introduction to Aluminum PCB Aluminum PCBs, also known as metal core PCBs (MCPCBs), are a type of printed circuit board that uses an aluminum substrate instead of the traditional FR-4 material. This unique structure provides excellent Thermal Conductivity, making aluminum PCBs ideal for applications that generate significant heat, such as […]

Introduction to Ceramic PCB Manufacturing Ceramic printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a specialized type of PCB that offer unique properties and benefits compared to traditional FR-4 PCBs. CeramIC PCBs are known for their excellent Thermal Conductivity, high-temperature resistance, and superior electrical insulation. These characteristics make them ideal for applications in […]
