How to select PCB manufacturing and service—The role of the printed circuit boards

In today’s tech wave,Printed circuit board prototype as an indispensable part of the electronic equipment. For smartphones, computers, medical equipment,automotive electronics, and even aerospace equipment.GreatPCB as a PCB fabrication manufacturer in China, it can provide customers with circuit board production and circuit board services,at the same time support custom printed circuit board.So what exactly does the printed circuit boards do? How can we choose the right circuit board according to the project requirements?

The main role of printed circuit boards

• interconnect function

One of the core functions of the printed circuit boards is the connection. It is able to connect different electronic components through wires to form a complete circuit system. With printed circuit board components can operate in a predetermined logic and order to achieve a variety of complex functions.

• Support function

In addition to the connection function, the printed circuit board can also provide a stable support for the electronic components. The electronic components are fixed on the printed circuit board, forming a compact, stable overall structure. This structure can not only protect the electronic components from the interference and damage of the external environment, but also improve the stability and reliability of the whole circuit system.

• Radiating function

In electronic devices, a large amount of heat is generated as the electronic components work. If the heat is not distributed in time, it will degrade or even damage the performance of circuit board prototype electronic components. The metal wire and copper foil layer on the printed circuit board can effectively transmit the heat to the surface of the circuit board, and then transmit the heat to the air through the radiator and other devices, so as to ensure the normal work of the electronic components.

How to choose the right circuit boards

• Determine the circuit board type according to the project requirements

Before selecting the circuit board, specify the specific requirements of the project. For example, the scale, complexity, and working environment of the project will affect the choice of the circuit board. For example, for projects that need to withstand high temperature and high humidity, it is necessary to choose circuit boards with good heat resistance and humidity resistance; for projects that need to realize high frequency transmission, it is necessary to choose circuit boards with low impedance and high bandwidth.

• Consider the performance parameters of the circuit boards

When selecting the circuit board, the performance parameters of the circuit board. For example, the number of layers of the circuit board, wire width, wire spacing, copper foil thickness will affect the performance of the circuit board. Generally speaking, a circuit board with more layers, wider wire width, smaller wire spacing, and larger copper foil thickness, the better its performance. However, these parameters will also affect the cost and production difficulty of the circuit board. Therefore, the circuit board needs to be weighed according to the actual requirements of the project.

• Select the reliable PCB suppliers and manufacturers

When selecting circuit boards, you will also need to choose reliable PCB suppliers and PCB board makers. Good printed circuit board manufacturers can provide high quality circuit board products, and can provide perfect after-sales service and technical support. Therefore, a deep investigation and understanding of suppliers and manufacturers are needed to ensure that they have sufficient strength and credibility. As an indispensable component of electronic equipment, the importance of printed circuit board is self-evident. When selecting the circuit board, according to the specific requirements of the project, choose the appropriate circuit board type and performance parameters, and choose reliable suppliers and manufacturers. Only in this way can the smooth progress of the project and the high-performance operation of the electronic equipment be guaranteed.
