Circuit boards may be called printed circuit boards or printed circuit boards, English name for the PrintedCircuitBoard (PCB), (FlexiblePrintedCircuitboard) FPC circuit board (FPC circuit board is also called the flexible PCB flexible circuit board based on polyimide or polyester film base material made of a kind of highly reliability, Excellent flexible printed circuit board. It has the characteristics of high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness and good bending. Combined with hard and soft board (reechas SoftandhardcombinaTIonplate) – with birth and development of PCB, FPC plate led to the soft hard couple, this new product. Therefore, the combination of soft and hard board, is the flexible circuit board and hard circuit board, after pressing and other processes, according to the relevant process requirements combined together, the formation of a circuit board with FPC characteristics and PCB characteristics.
Classification of circuit boards
Circuit boards according to the number of layers to be divided into single panel, double panel, and multilayer circuit boards three big classification.
The first is the single panel. On a basic PCB, the parts are concentrated on one side and the wires on the other. This type of PCB is called a single-sided circuit board because the wires appear on only one side. Single panels are usually simple and inexpensive to make, but the disadvantage is that they cannot be used on complex products.
Dual panel is an extension of single panel, when single-layer wiring can not meet the needs of electronic products, dual panel will be used. Both sides are covered with copper and have a route, and the line between the two layers can be guided through the hole, so that it forms the required network connection.
The multilayer board refers to a printed board having more than three layers of conductive graphics layers and insulating materials between them, and the conductive graphics between them are interconnected according to requirements. Multilayer circuit board is electronic information technology to high speed, multi-function, large capacity, small volume, thin, lightweight direction of development products.
According to the characteristics of the circuit board to be divided into soft board (FPC), hard board (PCB), soft and hard combined board (FPCB).
Structure of circuit board
The circuit board is mainly composed of welding pad, through hole, mounting hole, wire, components, connectors, filling, electrical boundary, etc. The main functions of each component are as follows:
Pad: Metal hole for welding the pin of a component.
Through holes: there are metal through holes and non-metal through holes, wherein metal through holes are used to connect the pins of components between each layer.
Mounting hole: used to secure the circuit board.
Wire: Electrical network copper film used to connect the pins of a component.
Connector: A component used to connect circuit boards.
Filling: Copper applied to ground wire network can effectively reduce impedance.
Electrical boundary: Used to determine the size of the circuit board. All components on the circuit board must not exceed this boundary.
