Best printed circuit board provider? Since beginning, as a printed circuit board (PCB) vendor in Asia, Best Technology is dedicating to be your best partner of advance, high-precision printed circuit boards, such as heavy copper boards, ultra thin PCB, mixed layers, high TG, HDI, high frequency (Rogers, Taconic), impedance controlled board, Metal Core PCB (MCPCB) such as Aluminum PCB, Copper PCB, and Ceramic PCB (conductor Copper, AgPd, Au, etc) and so on. Discover even more info on printed circuit board assembly. Art-of-state Technology: Most of our engineer and operators has more than ten years of experience in PCB industry, so we can produce special such as 20 OZ heavy copper board, 4 layer MCPCB, etc.

A single sided flexible printed circuit (1 layer flex circuit) is a flex circuit with one layer of copper trace on one substrate, and with one layer Polyimide coverlay laminated to copper trace so that only one side copper will be exposed, so that it only allowing access to copper trace from one side, comparing to dual access flex circuit which allows access from both top and bottom side of flex circuit. As there’s only one layer of copper trace, so it also named as 1 layer flexible printed circuit, or 1 layer flexible circuit, or even 1 layer FPC, or 1L FPC. The multi layer flex circuit refer to a flex circuit with more than 2 layer circuit layers. Three or more flexible conductive layers with flexible insulating layers between each one, which are interconnected by way of metallized hole through the vias/holes and plating to form a conductive path between the different layers, and external are polyimide insulating layers.

Flat Flexible Cable (FFC) is made of PET insulation material and extremely thin tinned flat copper wire, it has free bending and folding, thin thickness, small size, simple connection, easy to solve electromagnetic shielding (EMI). Common ffc cables’ specifications are 0.5mm, 0.8mm, 1.0mm, 1.25mm, 1.27mm, 1.5mm, 2.0mm, 2.54mm and other various pitches to match different types of connectors. Rigid-flex PCB is a circuit board combined of rigid board and flexible circuit, from 2 layer to 50 layers, has the advantage of rigidness, flatness, flexibility and bendability. You can see advantage of rigid flex circuit such as design high density, less components need, less space, and stack up. Welcome to visit Best Technology rigid flex pcb manufacturers.

According to different manufacturing method, current there’re three basic types for ceramic board: A) Thick Film Ceramic Board Thick Film Ceramic PCB: Using this technology, the thickness of conductor layer exceeds 10 micron, more thick than spurting technology. The conductor is silver or gold palladium, and was printed on ceramic substrate. More for Thick Film Ceramic PCB. B) DCB Ceramic Board DCB (Direct Copper Bonded) technology denotes a special process in which the copper foil and the core (Al2O3 or ALN), on one or both sides, are directly bonded under appropriate high temperature and pressure.

The main difference between a FR4 board and MCPCB is the thermal conductivity dielectric material in the MCPCB. This acts as a thermal bridge between the IC components and metal backing plate. Heat is conducted from the package through the metal core to an additional heat sink. On the FR4 board the heat remains stagnant if not transferred by a topical heatsink. According to lab testing a MCPCB with a 1W LED remained near an ambient of 25C, while the same 1W LED on a FR4 board reached 12C over ambient. LED PCB always be produced with Aluminum core, but sometimes steel core PCB also be used.
