Rigid PCB-How are PCB circuit boards tested-KingSunPCB

What is Rigid PCB?

Rigid PCB board is a conventional Printed Circuit Board. It cannot be bent or flexed.

A Rigid PCB board is one of the important components of electronics product manufacture. Almost every electronic product must be used PCB board, from small watches, and calculators to computers, electronic communication equipment, and even military weapon systems.

Types of Rigid PCB Board

Single Layer Rigid PCB

Single layer rigid PCB is the most basic PCB. Components are concentrated on one side and circuits are concentrated on the other side. Single layer PCB board has many strict restrictions on the design circuit (because there is only one side, the wiring can not cross and must go around the unique path), only the early circuits use this kind of board.

2-Layer Rigid PCB

2-Layer Rigid PCB Board circuits on both sides of this board, to use both circuits, proper circuit connections must be made between the two sides. This “bridge” between circuits is called a via. The via hole is on the PCB board, filled with or coated with a metal hole, and it can be connected to the wires on both sides. Because the area of the dual panel is double that of the single panel, the dual panel solves the difficulty of wiring in a single panel (via conduction through the hole to the other side), which is more suitable for use in more complex circuits than a single panel.

Multilayer Rigid PCB

4 Layer rigid PCB, 6 Layer rigid PCB, 8 Layer rigid PCB and more layers, we call them mulitlayer rigid PCB.

In order to increase the area that can be routed, multilayer rigid PCB boards use more single or double-sided wiring boards.

Usually, the number of layers is even, and the outermost two layers are included. Most of the motherboards are 4 layer to 8 layer structures.

Super-multi-layer boards have gradually become unused. Because the layers in the PCB are tightly integrated, it is generally not easy to see the actual number, but if you look closely at the motherboard, you can still see it.

Características do PCB rígido

O PCB rígido pode ser aplicado cada vez mais amplamente porque tem muitas vantagens exclusivas, conforme descrito abaixo.

Density Can Be Increased of Rigid PCB

For decades, the high density of rigid PCBs has grown as integrated circuits have become more integrated and installation technologies have advanced.

Alta fiabilidade

Through a series of inspections, tests, and aging tests, the rigid PCB circuit board can be reliably operated for a long period of time (usually 20 years).

Designability

For rigid PCB performance (electrical, physical, chemical, mechanical, etc.) requirements, PCB circuit board design can be achieved through design standardization, standardization, etc., with short time and high efficiency.

Productivity of Rigid PCB

With modern management, we can carry out standardization, scale (quantity), automation and other production, and ensure the consistency of product quality.

Rigid PCB Testability

Established a relatively complete test method, test standards, a variety of test equipment and instruments to detect and identify the qualification and service life of rigid PCB circuit board products.

Rigid PCB Assemblability

Rigid PCB board products not only facilitate the standard assembly of various components, but also can be automated, large-scale mass production. At the same time, PCB circuit board and various component assembly parts can also be assembled to form larger parts and systems up to the complete machine.

Capacidade de manutenção

Since rigid PCB products and various component assembly parts are produced with standardized design and scale, these components are also standardized. Therefore, once the system fails, it can be quickly, easily, and flexibly replaced, quickly recovering from the system’s work. Of course, you can also give more examples. For example, the system is miniaturized, lightweight, and the signal transmission speed is increased.

Material rígido de PCB

The main raw materials commonly used in rigid PCB are substrate, copper foil, PP, photosensitive material, solder mask and film.

Rigid PCB Substrate

Copper-clad laminate is a composite material made from wood pulp paper or glass fiber cloth as a reinforcing material that is impregnated with resin and then covered on one or both sides with copper foil. It undergoes a hot-pressing process. In the production of rigid PCB multilayer boards, this material is commonly referred to as the core board or CORE.

Rigid PCB Copper Foil

The copper foil serves as the cathode component of the electrolytic material, and is deposited onto a thin continuous metal layer on the rigid PCB substrate

Externamente, ele pode ser facilmente colado à camada isolante, que acomoda a camada protetora e é gravada para criar o padrão do circuito.

A espessura do cobre PCB rígido é normalmente categorizada em variantes de 1 onça (35 µm), 2 onças (70 µm) e 3 onças (105 µm).

Rigid PCB Prepreg

PP is a thin insulation material used for rigid printed circuit boards. Prior to being laminated, PP is in the form of a prepreg, also known as pre-impregnated fiber. It is primarily utilized as the adhesive and insulating material for the inner conductive pattern of multilayer circuit boards.

Once the PP has been laminated, the semi-cured epoxy is forced out, begins to flow, and ultimately solidifies, creating a strong bond that joins the multilayer circuit boards together, resulting in a dependable insulating layer.

Material fotossensível

These materials are generally classified as either photoresist or photosensitive film, and within the industry they are further divided into wet and dry film categories

When exposed to certain wavelengths of light, wet-film coatings on rigid PCB copper clad laminates undergo a chemical transformation that alters their solubility in the developer (solvent).

Dry film is further categorized into positive and negative film, differentiated by their photodegradable and photopolymerizable properties. Both types are highly sensitive to ultraviolet rays

Filme de máscara de solda

This is a typical liquid photosensitive material that has no compatibility with liquid solder. It undergoes a chemical transformation and solidifies under specific lighting conditions. There are various ink colors available, with green being the most frequently used color for solder mask.

Rigid And Flex PCB Materials Are Different

Rigid PCB board is a circuit board made of hard materials such as glass fiber reinforced resin.

Rigid PCB materials include phenolic paper laminate, epoxy paper laminate, polyester glass felt laminate and epoxy glass cloth laminate.

Flex PCB board is a flexible circuit board made of polyimide and polyester material, etc. The typical feature of the flexible board is the insulating film, and the flexible board uses a thin and soft insulating film to achieve insulation and mechanical strength.

Rigid And Flex PCB Design Are Different

Rigid PCB design is to realize the integration of the circuit by laying out the electronic components on the circuit board, thereby improving the performance of the circuit, reducing failure and maintenance costs.

Flexible PCB circuit boards are designed to meet the needs of specific application scenarios, such as space-limited electronic devices that need to be bent, folded, or bent.

Rigid And Flex PCB Applications Are Different

Rigid PCB is often used in applications that need to be stronger, such as inside computers or in some mechanical and industrial products.

The electrical performance of the rigid PCB board is more stable and reliable, and it is not easy to be deformed or damaged. They will not affect their performance due to changes in the environment and can be more suitable for high-density wiring.

Placas PCB flexíveis são frequentemente usadas em aplicações que exigem flexão e flexão, como em alguns equipamentos eletrônicos leves e de alta precisão, relógios, carrocerias de automóveis, etc.

Advantages Of Rigid And Flex PCB
