FR4 ultra-thin PCB assembly customization is an advanced electronic manufacturing technology that involves the design, manufacturing and assembly of PCB (Printed Circuit Board).

The following is a detailed introduction to FR4 ultra-thin PCB assembly customization.

Overview

FR4 is a commonly used epoxy fiberglass cloth-based material widely used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards (PCBs).

Ultra-thin PCB refers to a PCB with a thin thickness, usually between 0.2mm and 0.5mm. FR4 ultra-thin PCB has the characteristics of high density, high reliability, high thermal conductivity, etc., so it is widely used in high-end electronic products.

Design Flow

1. Determine design requirements: Based on product requirements, determine PCB design requirements such as size, number of layers, wiring density, and packaging methods.
2. Schematic design: Use electronic design automation (EDA) software to design circuit schematics to ensure correct circuit functions and stable performance.
3. PCB layout: According to the schematic design, layout the components on the PCB to ensure that the components are arranged neatly and the wiring is reasonable.
4. PCB wiring: Carry out PCB wiring design based on circuit principles and layout to ensure line conduction, impedance matching, and signal integrity.
5. Design review and modification: Review the design to ensure it is correct, and make necessary modifications based on the review results.

Manufacturing process

1. Plate preparation: Select the appropriate FR4 plate, cut and clean it.
2. Inner layer treatment: Coating, baking and other treatments are performed on the inner layer of the board to ensure good bonding strength of the inner layer.
3. Lamination: The processed inner sheets are laminated, heated and pressurized to form a multi-layer PCB.
4. Drilling and hole-making: Drill holes in the PCB and plate a layer of metal conductor on the hole wall to facilitate wire connection.
5. Graphic transfer: transfer circuit graphics to PCB to form conductive lines and pads, etc.
6. Etching and film removal: Perform etching and film removal on the PCB to form the final circuit pattern.
7. Surface treatment: Treat the surface of PCB, such as gold plating, silver plating, etc., to improve its conductivity and corrosion resistance.
8. Quality inspection: Conduct quality inspection on the manufactured PCB, including appearance inspection, electrical performance testing, etc.

Assembly and customization

1. Component procurement and inspection: Purchase components according to design requirements and inspect the components to ensure reliable quality.
2. PCB welding: Use welding technology to weld components to PCB to achieve electrical connection between components and PCB.
3. Assembly and mounting: Install other necessary components (such as capacitors, inductors, etc.) on the PCB, fix and mount them.
4. Testing and debugging: Test and debug the assembled PCB to ensure its normal function and stable performance.
5. Packaging and transportation: Pack and label the finished product for transportation and storage. The packaging should be shockproof and waterproof to ensure the safe transportation of the product.
6. Documentation and technical support: Provide corresponding technical documentation and instructions for use, and provide follow-up technical support services as needed.
