Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Blanking

According to PCB material, hole and shape processing can adopt the method of mould cutting, to a simple PCB processing or request is not high PCB can be used in a cutting way.Suitable for low level and the requirements of the mass is not very high PCB PCB production and appearance requirements is not very high, the cost is low.

Punch:

Production batch is big, the amount and type of hole and more complicated shape of single-sided paper substrate and non-metallic hole of epoxy glass cloth substrate double-sided, usually USES one or a few pay mold punching.

Appearance:

PCB production batch of the appearance of single panel and double panel, usually USES the mould .According to the size of the PCB, can be divided into the blanking die and whereabouts is expected to die.

The composite processing:

PCB hole and hole, hole and shape between the requirement of high precision, at the same time in order to shorten the manufacturing cycle, increase productivity, the composite mould machining hole and the appearance of the single panel at the same time.

With mold processing, PCB, the key is to mold design, processing, need professional knowledge, in addition to this, the mould installation and debugging is also very important, at present most of the PCB factory molds are made outside the factory processing.

Mould installation considerations:

1. According to the mold design and calculation of blanking force, the size of the mould, such as height choose punch (including type, tonnage).
2. Start the punch press, comprehensive review include the clutch, brake, slider, etc. Each part is normal, whether the operating mechanism and reliable, and should have no impact phenomena.
3. Die under the pad iron, generally is 2 pieces, must on the grinding machine grinding out at the same time, to ensure that the mold installation parallel and vertical.Shim placed leap put namely don't hamper blanking and near the center of the mould, as far as possible, at the same time.
4. To prepare a few sets of platen and T head clamp screw, so that the corresponding use and die.Linking piece without touching lower die straight front wall.The interface between should pad cloth, must tighten the screw.
5. Be very careful when mould installation on the screw, nut don't meet lower die mould (upper die down, closed).
6. Adjust the mould using hand as much as possible, instead of motor.
7. To improve the cutting performance of base material, paper board to be hot.The temperature at 70 ~ 70 ℃.
Die cutting of the PCB hole and shape, its quality defect has the following several:

Around the hole of the bump or copper foil case become warped or layers;Between holes and hole crack;Partial or hole itself is not a vertical hole position;Burr;The section coarse;Coining the PCB into the bottom of the pot shape warping;Waste jumping;Waste blocked.

The check analysis steps are as follows:

Check if the punch blanking force, rigid enough;Mold design is reasonable, whether rigid enough;The convex and concave die and machining precision of the guide pin, guide sleeve, if, if installation concentric, vertical.Fit clearance is uniform.Convex and concave of the gap is too small or too metropolitan produce quality defects, is a mold design, processing, and debugging, using one of the most important question.Don't allow the rounded edge convex and concave die, chamfering .Taper is not permitted in punch, especially when punching both positive cone and cone are not allowed.In production to pay attention to whether convex and concave die blade wear at any time.The discharging mouth is reasonable, small resistance.Pushing plate, a feed rod is reasonable, strength enough.Washed the plate thickness and the substrate binding force, the gel content, and the adhesion strength of the copper foil, to hot humidity and time is also cutting quality defects such as analysis of factors to consider.

Something About the Flexible Print Circuit Board(FPCB) You Should To Know

FPCB, all known Flexible Print circuit board or Flex Print circuit Board, it is attached to the flexible substrate on the dry film, exposed, developed, produced on the substrate after etching conduction lines. In terms of its relative rigid printed circuit boards can be curved flexible, smaller and lighter. In electronic products play a role in conducting and bridges make the product better performance, smaller.

Main material: polyimide + adhesive + copper are also non-adhesive backing, which only copper + substrate, its price is higher, less in the current application, unless special needs.

Copper CU (Copper Foil) in the material is divided into rolled copper RA (ROLLED ANNEAL Copper Foil) and electrolytic copper ED (ELECTRO DEPOSITED Copper Foil) two kinds, the characteristics of the mechanical properties of rolled copper is better, there are scratch off most requests are made rolled copper. Thickness is divided into 1/2oz (0.7mil), 1oz, 2oz, three are generally used 1oz.

Substrate in the material is divided into PI (Polyimide) Film and PET (Polyester) Pilm two kinds, PI's price is higher but its better flame resistance, PET lower prices but not heat. So if it needs most are made of welded PI Material thickness is divided into two kinds of 1mil 2mil.

Reinforcing material Stiffener soft board soldered parts or local area in order to increase reinforcement in order to install and another pressing up of hard material reinforced PI and PET film is divided into two kinds of materials as Epoxy FR4 material commonly known as urea resin plate reinforcement materials in general are feeling Caulking RESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE fit with soft board, but you are using PI reinforcement film adhesive (Thermosetting) lamination.

Surface treatment

1. Rust treatment - on the surface of bare copper antioxidants
2. Tin-lead printing - the bare copper surface with solder paste printing another reflow furnace
3. Plating - Plating Tin / lead (Sn / Pb) nickel / gold (Ni / Au)
4. Chemical deposition - chemical solution deposition way to tin / lead nickel / gold surface treatment

Features:

Classification:

(1)According to sub-layers: * Single Layer board * Double layer board * Multilayer board (two or more layers)
(2) By material: * Soft board * Rigid PCB board * Rigid-Flex PCB board

Some Knowledge About PCB Board Panelization

A key to saving money on PCB manufacturing during the design phase is to optimize the usable area available for each standard manufacturing panel.

Some manufacturers suggest that you put a number of different circuits on the same panel to improve material utilization and reduce manufacturing costs. At wonderful PCB Limited, we do this automatically as part of our pooling process, so there is no need for you to waste valuable design time. Of course you can suggest us your idea of panel size.

Penalization will do much help for the assembly process. If your layout uses SMD components we automatically panelized a solder-paste layer which you can download as a Gerber file for stencil manufacture. We can generate the paste files from the SMD pads on a "best-efforts" basis but it is not always clear to us which pads to include and which to leave out. So we recommend that you check these files before you use them. It is much safer to generate a paste file yourself and include it in the data you send us. We will then check it with the rest of the data and step and repeat it into the same assembly panel.

There are several ways to panelization of the PCB boards. Normally by V-cut, stamp hole and routing. No matter what kind of method you want, we can make it for you. And we can offer you the best solution. Manufactur ability rules: (1) Minimum dimension of the single PCB is 5 by 5 mm. (2) Maximum panel dimensions on the Verified and Verified Plus service is 250 x 350 mm.

Here are some of the PCB boards that in Panel for your reference.
First one is by V-cut and routing, the second is by stamp hole.

PCB Layer Definition

For the base skills for PCB board engineer is to know the PCB terms, especially for each layer, each hole, each unit, etc. In the EDA software terminology, there are a lot of terms is not have the same definition. The following could explain the different in literally meaning, which may help the unprofessional person to better understanding and learning the necessary terms.

Mechnical: generally refers to the type plate machining dimension layer

Keep out layer: definition cannot go line, perforation (via) or parts area. These limits can separate definitions.

Top overlay: can't literally know its meaning. To provide more information to further discussion.

Bottom overlay: can't literally know its meaning. Can provide more information for further discussion.

Exposed Top paste: top need copper on a part of the solder paste.

Bottom paste: need to show on the copper solder paste at the bottom of the part.

Top solder: shall mean the top resistance welding layer, to avoid in the process of manufacturing or in the future maintenance may not be short circuit

Bottom solder:Should refer to the underlying resistance welding layer.

Drill guide: it could be different aperture size, the corresponding symbol, and the number of a table.

Drill drawing: refers to the hole of the bitmap, different aperture will have a corresponding symbol.

Multilayer: there should be no separate this layer, can refer to a Multilayer, in view of the single panel and double panel.

Top paste: namely the surface patch when open stencil to use.

Bottom paste: that is the underlying patch when open stencil to use

Anti-pollution Measures On PCB Fabrication

Nowadays, the pollution from PCB fabrication has drawn great public attention. The environmental pollution of PCB fabrication is mainly in the forms of waste water, exhaust gas, waste residue and so on. In most of the European countries, they have strict policy to control the pollution from PCB fabrication. While in China the pollution becomes more and more serious due too many PCB manufacturers and the control is not enough. In the future, the PCB fabrication will gradually move towards clean production sustainable development.

Firstly, the government must establish relevant laws and regulations to guide and control enterprise behavior, so as to save resources and improve resource utilization and reuse rate. Secondly, the PCB corporations that are not equipped with waste water treatment facilities or equipped with unqualified facilities waste water treatment should not continue the PCB fabrication any longer, completely changing the situation of observing the low at high cost and breaking the law at low cost .

Secondly, the PCB fabricators in China should establish good sense of environmental protection. During the PCB production, should follow ISO9001 and ISO14001 standard. The waste water should be well controlled. As long as the relevant government departments and PCB related industries cling together and formulate measures and systems in line with the national condition of PCB industry development in China, the pollution caused by PCB fabrication will go down substantially, even to meet the clean production requirement for sustainable development. As a manufacturer,

As a Leading PCB fabricator in China, Wonderful PCB shared our responsibility to protect the environment. Always bear in mind that production should follow the industry standards.
