High quality printed circuit board manufacturer? Since beginning, as a printed circuit board (PCB) vendor in Asia, Best Technology is dedicating to be your best partner of advance, high-precision printed circuit boards, such as heavy copper boards, ultra thin PCB, mixed layers, high TG, HDI, high frequency (Rogers, Taconic), impedance controlled board, Metal Core PCB (MCPCB) such as Aluminum PCB, Copper PCB, and Ceramic PCB (conductor Copper, AgPd, Au, etc) and so on. See additional details on pcb assembly service. The layer on top of the copper foil is called the soldermask layer. This layer gives the PCB its green (or, at PCB & MCPCB, red) color. It is overlaid onto the copper layer to insulate the copper traces from accidental contact with other metal, solder, or conductive bits. This layer helps the user to solder to the correct places and prevent solder jumpers. In the example below, the green solder mask is applied to the majority of the PCB, covering up the small traces but leaving the silver rings and SMD pads exposed so they can be soldered to. Soldermask is most commonly green in color but nearly any color is possible. We use red for almost all the PCB & MCPCB boards, white for the IOIO board, and purple for the Best Technology boards.

A single sided flexible printed circuit (1 layer flex circuit) is a flex circuit with one layer of copper trace on one substrate, and with one layer Polyimide coverlay laminated to copper trace so that only one side copper will be exposed, so that it only allowing access to copper trace from one side, comparing to dual access flex circuit which allows access from both top and bottom side of flex circuit. As there’s only one layer of copper trace, so it also named as 1 layer flexible printed circuit, or 1 layer flexible circuit, or even 1 layer FPC, or 1L FPC. The multi layer flex circuit refer to a flex circuit with more than 2 layer circuit layers. Three or more flexible conductive layers with flexible insulating layers between each one, which are interconnected by way of metallized hole through the vias/holes and plating to form a conductive path between the different layers, and external are polyimide insulating layers. 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.

Today printed wiring (circuit) boards are used in virtually all but the simplest commercially produced electronic devices, and allow fully automated assembly processes that were not possible or practical in earlier era tag type circuit assembly processes. A PCB populated with electronic components is called a printed circuit assembly (PCA), printed circuit board assembly or PCB Assembly (PCBA). In informal use the term “PCB” is used both for bare and assembled boards, the context clarifying the meaning. The IPC preferred term for populated boards is CCA, circuit card assembly. This does not apply to backplanes; assembled backplanes are called backplane assemblies by the IPC.

According to different manufacturing method, current there’re three basic types for ceramic board: A) Thick Film Ceramic Board Thick Film Ceramic PCB: Using this technology, the thickness of conductor layer exceeds 10 micron, more thick than spurting technology. The conductor is silver or gold palladium, and was printed on ceramic substrate. More for Thick Film Ceramic PCB. B) DCB Ceramic Board DCB (Direct Copper Bonded) technology denotes a special process in which the copper foil and the core (Al2O3 or ALN), on one or both sides, are directly bonded under appropriate high temperature and pressure.

Metal Core PCB means the core (base) material for PCB is the metal, not the normal FR4/CEM1-3, etc. and currently the most common metal used for MCPCB manufacturer are Aluminum, Copper and steel alloy. Aluminum has good heat transferring and dissipation ability, but yet relatively cheaper; copper has even better performance but relatively more expensive, and steel can be divided into normal steel and stainless steel. It more rigid than both aluminum and copper, but thermal conductivity is lower than them too. People will choose their own base/core material according to their different application.
