Eight kinds of PCB surface treatment process

With the continuous improvement of human living environment requirements, the environmental problems involved in the PCBproduction process are particularly prominent. The topic of lead and bromine is the hottest, Lead free and non halogenated will affect the development of PCB in many ways.

Although for now, The surface treatment process of PCB has not changed much, But it should be noticed. Long periods of slow change will lead to dramatic changes. In the case of increasingly high environmental protection voices, The surface treatment process of PCB will certainly change greatly in the future.

The basic purpose of surface treatment is to ensure good solderability or electrical properties. Because copper in nature tends to exist in the air in the form of oxides, unlikely to remain as raw copper for a long time, So copper treatment is therefore necessary.

here are many PCB surface treatment processes now, following will be introduced one by one:

* HASL
Hot air leveling, also known as hot air solder leveling (commonly known as tin spray), It is the process of coating molten tin (lead) solder on the surface of PCB and blowing (blowing) flat with heated compressed air, and make it a layer that is resistant to copper oxidation, and supply coating with good solderability. During the hot air, solder and copper combine to form copper tin intermetallic compounds.

* OSP
OSP also called Organic Solderability Preservatives, Simply speaking, OSP is on the surface of cleaning bare copper, chemically grown a layer of organic film. The film has oxidation resistance, heat shock resistance and moisture resistance. Used to protect the surface of copper from corrosion in the normal environment.

* Full plate nickel plated gold
The gold plated nickel plate is plated with a layer of nickel on the surface conductor of PCB and then plated with a layer of gold. Nickel plating is mainly to prevent the diffusion of gold and copper. Soft gold is mainly used in chip packaging gold wire. Hard gold is mainly used in non welding electrical interconnections.

*  Immersion Gold
The gold is a thick, electrically charged nickel alloy on the copper surface. this can protect PCB for a long time. In addition, it has the environmental tolerance that other surface treatment processes do not have. Immersion  gold can also prevent the dissolution of copper.

* Immersion Tin
Since all solders are based on tin, the tin layer matches any type of solder. Tin deposition process can form a flat copper tin intermetallic compound.

* Immersion silver
The silver deposition process is between organic coating and electroless nickel plating / immersion, the process is simple and fast. Silver can still maintain good solderability even when exposed to heat, humidity, and contamination.

*Electroplated hard gold

In order to improve the wear resistance of products, increase the number of plugging and electroplating hard gold.

Cause analysis of PCB price difference

The cost of the PCB industry is the most extraordinary and complex of all industries, from the opening, platen, forming, until the FQC, packaging, finished warehousing. According to the cost of each process inputs, labor costs, manufacturing costs, such as step-by-step accounting, Then, according to the order product number, the cumulative cost. All of these affect the calculation and evaluation of WIP cost and scrap cost directly.

First, different materials used in PCB result in price diversity.

Materials are generally FR-4, CEM-3 and so on, thickness ranges from 0.6mm to 3.0mm. Copper thickness varies from Oz to 3 Oz. All this creates a huge price difference on the sheet metal.

Second, The diversity of manufacturing processes used by PCB creates price diversity.

Different production processes lead to different costs.

Third, the price diversity caused by the difficulty of the PCB itself.

Even the same material, the same process, But the PCB itself is difficult and creates different costs. 
The difficulty of the retirement rate is higher, and Inevitable cost increase, And then create price diversity

Fourth, Different customer requirements can also lead to price differences. 
The level of customer requirements will directly affect the rate of finished products in the factory, Such as a board according to IPC-A-600E, Class1 requirements have 98% pass rate, but according to class3 requirements may be only 90% of the qualified rate, resulting in different costs of the board factory, and finally lead to variable product prices.

Fifth, Price diversity caused by PCB manufacturers.
Even with the same product, but because different manufacturers, process equipment, technical level is different, but also the formation of different costs.

Sixth, Price differences caused by different payment methods

At present, the PCB board factory will adjust the PCB price according to the different payment methods, the range is 5%-10%, which makes the price difference.

Seventh, Regional differences lead to price diversity.

At present, the domestic geographically speaking, from south to north, the price has increased, there are some differences in prices in different regions.

PCB industry

PCB industry

2016 collapse of the traditional manufacturing industry, in 2017 the Internet bubble collapse.Enterprise transformation is a top priority to reverse the crisis.Transition, the two words are related enterprise life and death.Especially large enterprises, with annual sales of $10 enterprises, rely on is the traditional sales channels and team, talk easy transition.Die not transformation, transformation in the fear of death,Many enterprises are struggling with this is the main reason for the transformation,Timid fear the end of the "death" is the only result.Even if is dead, why don't you fight, the profit?

For the enterprise, there are two kinds of transformation:
The first kind, forced to transition, while concentrating on the problem can't solve,Reversed transmission enterprise transformation, the transformation cost is very big, also is very painful, but not the operation must be death.
The second transition, is foreseen type transformation,Is the enterprise leaders strategic insight ability strong, this kind of entrepreneur is scarce,Like that year sell PC business to lenovo, IBM is near the cheap PCS sold a high price in advance,IBM finished ahead of transformation, was very successful.But this kind of entrepreneurs in the world is rare.
Believe most of the PCB manufacturer and upstream and downstream industries are belong to the first, when the flood comes, to remember to disaster relief, the concept of no save for a rainy day.
In artificial cost, cost of raw materials under the trend of growing only, also hope to rely on bite a tooth proofed the past is not too realistic, this will only drag companies to more and more tired, tired, ending only exit the market, of course.
First of all, China has now entered the medium high income countries,Compared to income levels in the global ranking of a substantial increase in twenty years ago.More than 110 economies around the world have more than the Chinese labor cost advantage, domestic labor costs increase, have to make industrial enterprises use replace labor of science and technology innovation.
Second, the PCB industry use are traditional copper clad,And circuit board prices the main reason is that the upstream copper clad, copper foil and other raw material prices continue to rise sharply, cause the entire circuit board production cost is too high,Semi-serious also makes the downstream industry, in addition, the popularity of electronic products upgrading and increase the terminal market demand, this also support factor for the circuit board price is rising.
Avant-garde entrepreneurs recognize industry already on the market situation, vision, breaking the previous sheet, use ceramic material of the circuit board,And the ceramic chip price did not increase,In this regard, the ceramic material used in the circuit board industry has greater advantage.And also using laser rapid activation metallization technology (LAM) technology, reduce labor costs, laser cutting grinding punch master, production cycle is fast, good heat dissipation effect.Easily solve the artificial cost and material cost, and also bring more value.

Wireless transmission can charger circuit analysis – circuit selection

Wireless transmission can charger circuit analysis - circuit selection
Wireless charging is the result of radio transmission technology, low power wireless charging electromagnetic induction type, is often used to power wireless charging resonant is often used by power supply equipment (charger) to transfer energy to the utilization device, the device using the received energy of the battery, and at the same time for its own operation.
Because of the energy between the charger and power device to transmit field, without wires, between so charger and electric device can do no conductive contact the leakage.
Introduced in this paper is a simple and practical scheme of wireless transmission to the charger, it is through the coil to transmit power wireless to the bulb (battery).The wireless transmission can charger by two major part is energy sending unit and receiver unit, can be within 5 cm for rechargeable bulb (battery).
The power supply circuit

Using the 24 v and 5 v power supply to supply power field effect tube namely NE555 respectively by use of transformer substation using 7812 and 7912 the voltage source module to produce 24 v points and then by the power supply voltage to produce 7805 5 v battery.And it is important to note that two power supply.
Signal circuit

Applied by NE555 oscillation frequency is about 500 KHZ signal generator, excitation signal for power amplifier circuit.Adjust the rheostat size of 555 May be changes in a certain range of the output pulse frequency and duty ratio, and get the required frequency adjustment.
Receiver charging control circuit design

Electricity after receiving coil, high frequency ac voltage through IN4007 full-wave rectifier rectifier tube, 2200 uf capacitor filter, and then woke up with 3.3 V zener diode voltage, the output direct current for the bulb (battery) to provide a stable working voltage.
Power amplifier drive circuit
By LC resonance power amplifier and parallel resonant circuit switch tube IRF640 composition.Front-end oscillation circuit of power amplifier drive circuit is mainly used for amplification of vibration signals, thus send the higher oscillation signal in the junior high frequency power circuit.
LC resonance circuit design
Rf output energy sending unit adopts the transmitter coil (inductance and capacitance) and constitute a resonance circuit.Gain more voltage, in order to improve the energy receiving unit is able to work at greater distances, energy receiving unit adopts parallel resonant circuit.
When power amplifier circuit of frequency selective resonant frequency and the excitation signal frequency at the same time, the power amplifier in resonance, the maximum voltage and current in coil, resulting in a maximum of alternating electromagnetic field.When the receiver coil and the transmitter coil near the output voltage is induced in the receiving coil, when the resonance frequency of the receiver coil circuit and transmitting frequency resonate at the same time, the voltage of the maximum value.So the transmitter coil circuit and receiving coil circuit are in a state of resonance, has the best effect of energy transmission.Coil transfer energy efficiency is higher, the greater the distance between.
Receiver charging control circuit design
Electricity after receiving coil, high frequency ac voltage through IN4007 full-wave rectifier rectifier tube, 2200 uf capacitor filter, and then woke up with 3.3 V zener diode voltage, the output direct current for the bulb (battery) to provide a stable working voltage.

The wireless transmission  charger solutions and improvement need pay attention to the following points:
(1)in the transmission distance, under the condition of coil parameter is set, the sender must have the higher frequency, the transmitting coil in the resonance state, etc. Make transfer efficiency increases.
(2)methods for the improvement of distance is to improve the transmission circuit of voltage.
(3)the design adopts IN4007 rectifier rectifier tube, pipe pressure drop an average of 0.8 V.Conduction loss is big, not suitable for use in the receiving circuit.And if the schottky diode can greatly reduce the loss of the pipe, electrical energy utilization is higher.
(4) copper wire diameter, coil diameter size, number of turns and winding method not only determines the coil inductance value, also affects the efficiency of its transport.

Signaling speed limit and circuit board microminiaturization request

Along with the computer run speed rise, between the central processor and the peripheral component information transmission and the signal deposit and withdrawal needs in extremely short instantaneous to complete.For example within nanosecond or shorter time (10-9 second ~10-10 second).
These the fast transmission signal are carries on between the chip in the printed circuit panel metallic conductor.It is well known, signal dissemination demand time.The detention influence speeds up along with the frequency enlarges.Signal delay in electric circuit panel biggest, is small on multi-chip module (MCM), is smallest on the chip.Therefore the MCM technology is suitable for the high performance system.Is the 90's hot spots.In here us wants to point out the MCM technology arrived this new century to wither largely, its reason was the production cost too is expensive.

The present 3D chip superimposition technology looked like substitutes the MCM technology.In order to reduce the signal delay, may the component which corresponds mutually draw close to the placement.
Reduces between as far as possible them the signal path of propagation.This proposed to the electric circuit board the microminiaturized request, reduces the foundation plate 'OR' circuit board material the dielectric constant to increase the signal running rate.This proposed to the electric circuit board the microminiaturized request, reduces the foundation plate 'OR' circuit board material the dielectric constant to increase the signal running rate.In order to satisfy the component which mutually will correspond to draw close to the placement the request, will have to make the high density interconnection foundation plate/electric circuit board.
Most components will interlock in the smallest space.Is uses the micro channel interconnection technique in the technical stratification plane and unifies the precise narrow spacing metal fine lace technology.

The thing often has the duality, besides the manufacture difficulty, the thin metal wire does not favor the transmission high speed signal.Leading
The wire is thinner, the high speed signal passes ability is lower.Therefore in design high speed movement system time must the concurrently density and the speed request.When to high speed signal transmission line, must use certain section according to the signal velocity request the heavy line.And maintains the enough line spacing to prevent the disturbance between the signal.

six big skills to Chooses the PCB components

1. to consider the part package choice. 
In the entire schematic diagram plan stage, we should consider the confirmation of the part package which makes in the domain stage and welds the plate design decision.Below has given when according to the part seal choice part needs to consider some suggestions
2 use good earth method.
Guarantees that there is enough shunt capacitance and horizon.When use integrated circuit, guarantees arrives in the nearness power source end (should better be horizon) position use appropriate decoupling electric capacity.The electric capacity appropriate capacity is decided by the concrete application, the electric capacity technology and the operating frequency.When the bypass electric capacity lays aside between the power source and the earth pin, approaches the correct IC pin place, may optimize the electric circuit the electromagnetic compatibility and the susceptivity.
3. assignment hypothesized part package.
Prints bill of materials (BOM) to use in inspecting the hypothesized part.If the hypothesized part correlation package,it can not be able to transmit to the domain stage.Founds a bill of materials, then in examination design all hypothesized parts.The only clause should be the power source and the place signal, because they were considered is the hypothesized part.If only carries on special processing in the schematic diagram environment, cannot be transmitted to the domain design.Only if uses in the simulation goal, demonstrates the part in the hypothesized part all to be supposed to use to have the seal part substitution.
4. guarantees you to have the integrity bill of materials data.
whether The inspection bill of materials reported has the enough integrity data or not ?After founds the bill of materials report, must carry on the careful inspection, to all part clause in incomplete component, supplier or manufacturer information supplement integrity.
5. To sort according to the components marking .
In order to be helpful to bill of materials sorting and the examination, guarantees the part marking is the continual serial number.
6.to inspect unnecessary gates.
Generally speaking, all unnecessary gate input all should have the signal connection, avoids the input end being hanging.Guaranteed you to inspect all unnecessary or the omission gate, and all did not have the segment input end all completely to be connected including the above.In some situations, if the input end is at the suspended state, the overall system all cannot work correctly.Take the double transports puts for example,to which is used frequently in the design .If the double land transport put in the IC part only to use one to transport puts,The suggestion either transports another puts also uses, either will not use the input end earth which will transport puts.And the cloth puts an appropriate unit gain (or other gains) feeds back the network, thus guarantees the entire part to be able the normal work.

Analysis of circuit board welding defects

There are three main factors that cause welding defects:

*The weldability of the hole affects the welding quality.

It will cause weld defects if the hole welding is not good, affect the component parameters in a circuit, and lead to the instability of multilayer board components and inner conductor, and finally cause failure of the entire circuit function. The so-called weldability is that the metal surface is wetted by the molten solder, that is, the solder metal surface to form a relatively uniform and continuous smooth film.

*Weld defects due to warping

Circuit board and components in the process of welding warp, due to the stress deformation and weld defects such as short circuit. Warpage is often due to the temperature of the upper and lower parts of the circuit board caused by the imbalance of the board itself due to the weight of the warp.

*PCB design affects welding quality

In the layout, the size of the circuit board is too large, the printing line is long, the impedance increases, the anti noise ability drops, the cost increases.

How to optimize the PCB file?

1.Shorten the connection between high frequency components, reduce EMI interference.

2.A heavy weight (e.g., over 20G) element, which is supported by a bracket, and then welded

3.Heating element to consider the problem of heat dissipation, heat sensitive components away from the heat source.

4.The arrangement of the elements is as parallel as possible, so that the utility model can be beautiful and easy to weld, and is suitable for mass production.

Welding methods and skills for a new PCB board

For the new PCB board, we must look at the board first, whether there are problems, such as whether there are obvious cracks, there is no short circuit, open circuit, etc.

If necessary, check if the resistance between the power supply and the ground is large enough. Then install the component. In general, the power can be installed in the first part, and then on the power supply output voltage detection is normal. If you do not have too much confidence in the grasp, it’s a good idea for adjustable regulated power supply with current limiting function. The preset is better than the current protection, and then the voltage of the power supply is slowly increased, and the input current, input voltage and output voltage are monitored. If there is no over-current protection and other issues during process, and the output voltage is also normal, then the power part OK. 

There are several ways to find fault.

Measuring voltage method

First of all, we must confirm that the power supply voltage of each chip is normal, and then check the reference voltage is normal, there are other points of the operating voltage is normal, etc.

Signal injection method

The signal source is added to the input end, and then the waveform of each point is measured in turn to see if the fault is normal to find the fault point. Sometimes we use a simpler approach, for example, with a hand holding tweezers to touch the input at all levels to see whether the output response, if you do not respond to the first level, and after the first reaction, then the problem at the previous level, should focus on inspection.

Of course, there are many other ways to find fault points, such as seeing, hearing, smelling, touching, etc.

"Look" is to see whether there are obvious mechanical damage components, such as rupture, burning black, deformation, etc.

"Listen" is to listen to the sound of the work is normal, such as something that should not ring in the ring, the sound of the place does not ring or abnormal sound, etc.

"Smell" is to check whether there is a smell, such as the smell of burning, the taste of electrolytic capacitors, etc., for an experienced electronic maintenance personnel, the smell is very sensitive.

"Touch" is to use the hand to test whether the device temperature is normal, such as too hot, or too cold. Some power devices, should fever when work, but if it is cold, it can be judged that it does not work. General power transistor, voltage regulator chip, working at 70 degrees below is completely no problem.

2, Figure 2 is for the constant current source circuit.The R3 Values determine the size of the working current .When it is 30Ω,the Working current is 12mA.The VT1 voltage at the ends of the collector and emitter=the voltage for the two ends of C2 -The LED pressure drop*N .More the quantity of LED the is , lower VT need resistance to pressure and power.When the quantity of LED the is more ,We can use MJ13001 for VT1.
3, If the quantity of LED the is less ,We can use Figure 1 circuit .While the quantity of LED the is more ,We can use Figure 2 circuit .In terms of cost performance, Figure 2 circuit is the first selection.
4, The quantity of LED the is more ,the higher the energy utilization efficiency is .For example,Working current normally is 15mA(This value not only can make sure the brightness ,but also make sure the LED security)However the quantity is 1 or 90,Electric current is equal because led is In series .The power of the circuit P=220V*1.414*0.015A=4.67W.If 10 LED is used,and the pressure drop is 3.1V,then the power is 10%.While the rest is lost on the ballast or constant current source .But if 90LED is used,then the power will up to 90% .So it’s better to use more LED ,which can increase brightness In proportion,reduce the financial burden on the power part and Increase the reliability.

1, Normally all components shall be arranged on the the same circuit board side.Only top-level components is too close, some device height is limited and small calorific value device be set up on the bottom ,Such as SMD resistor, SMD capacitors, SMD IC.
2, on the premise of guarantee the electrical performance,elements should be placed on the grid in parallel or vertical alignment in order to be neat, beautiful.In general we don't allow components overlap,but to compact arranged components .Components in the page layout should be uniform distribution, the density is consistent .
3,Different components on printed circuit boards, neighboring,and the minimum distance between solder graphics should be more than 1 mm .
4,The distance from Components to the circuit board edge is generally not less than 2 mm.The best shape for the circuit board is rectangular and aspect ratio is 3:2 or 4:3. When Circuit board face 'is greater than 200 mm by 150 mm, we should consider mechanical strength which circuit board can withstand .
Layout skills
In the layout of the PCB design to we should analyze circuit unit according to the function.Layout all the components of the circuit , we need to comply with the following principles:
1, Arrangement of each functional circuit unit according to the process of the circuit to facilitate signal flow and ss far as possible to maintain the signal consistent direction.
2,Centered on the core of each function unit components, we layout around it .The arrangement of components should be uniform, compact, on the PCB and we should as far as possible reduce and shorten the lead and the connection between each components.
3,For the circuit which works under high frequency , we need to consider the components distribution parameters.Generally components should be as far as possible made parallel arrangement ,which are beautiful, and easy fabrication, easy to mass production .
