PCB Applications
How to specify and equip PCB production for real applications: automotive, RF/microwave, heavy copper, flex and rigid-flex, LED/metal-core and high-volume manufacturing.
Automotive PCB Manufacturing
Automotive electronics demand high reliability over wide temperature ranges, which places strict requirements on plating quality, surface finish and inspection coverage.
Read guide →RF and Microwave PCB Manufacturing
RF and microwave boards live or die by impedance control and dimensional accuracy, putting the emphasis on imaging, etching precision and impedance testing.
Read guide →Heavy Copper PCB Manufacturing
Heavy copper boards (for power electronics) carry high current in thick copper layers, which changes the demands on etching, plating and lamination.
Read guide →Flex and Rigid-Flex PCB Manufacturing
Flexible and rigid-flex boards use polyimide films and adhesives that handle differently from rigid FR-4, affecting lamination, imaging and profiling.
Read guide →LED and Metal-Core PCB Manufacturing
Metal-core PCBs move heat away from high-power LEDs and modules. The aluminum or copper base changes cutting, drilling and surface preparation.
Read guide →High-Volume PCB Production
High-volume fabrication is about uptime, consistency and automation. Inline conveyorized equipment and factory automation drive the unit economics.
