What is the prosperity of the PCB industry in 2022? After entering 2022, how is the prosperity of the PCB industry? Have upstream raw material prices declined? PCB downstream demand has entered a growth period 5G wireless communication is expected to fully blossom Recently, Wang Weizhong, the acting governor of Guangdong Province, said that he will respond to the policy and promote the digital transformation of 5,000 industrial enterprises above designated size, so as to realize the wide coverage of the Pearl River Delta with 5G network and full coverage in some areas; The national hub node of the national integrated computing power network. The data shows that in 2021, the telecommunications business revenue will increase by 8% year-on-year, and the software and information technology service industry revenue will increase by 17.7% year-on-year. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology pointed out that by the end of 2021, a total of 1.425 million 5G base stations have been built and opened in my country. Under the trend of policy support and industrial development, the 5G sector will be good for a long time. Minsheng Securities believes that 5G wireless communication is expected to fully blossom in multiple boom industries. The era of the Internet of Everything has arrived, and the market space for communication modules is huge! Driven by the full recovery of the electronics industry driven by the new generation of information technologies such as 5G, the PCB and upstream copper clad laminate industries are expected to enter a high-growth channel. In terms of PCBs used in communication equipment, the demand for PCBs is mainly based on multi-layer boards. In terms of PCB boards for servers, with the rapid growth, the requirements for high integration and high frequency are also placed on PCBs, thereby driving the value and technology of PCB boards. New energy vehicle PCB usage continues to grow The data that the sales of new energy vehicles exceed expectations have been overwhelming, and the rapid growth of the industry is self-evident. The demand for PCBs from new energy vehicles and the continuous growth of the value of bicycles will also bring great benefits to the industry. (1) Sensors account for 2-5% of the total vehicle PCB usage First of all, PCB (printed circuit board) is an important raw material for electronic products. With the development trend of intelligent and electrified automobiles, the amount of electronic products is also greatly increased, especially in the field of sensors: the use of cameras and radars is growing exponentially. According to the configuration of the number of sensors in different grades of vehicles, the usage of PCB in sensors will account for 21%-55% of the total vehicle usage. (2) The three-electric system increases the amount of PCB The number of PCBs required in the three-electric system (battery, motor, and electronic control) of new energy vehicles is much higher than that of traditional veh...

New energy vehicle with fire FPC At present, there are too many orders for in-vehicle FPC (flexible circuit board FPC), and its products have been used in many well-known new energy vehicle brands. Chairman Li Qiang revealed that the company's production capacity is continuing to expand, and in the future, it will increase the research and development and production capacity expansion of new energy vehicle soft boards and consumer electronics soft boards. FPC is a type of printed circuit board (PCB), which is widely used in communications, consumer electronics, and automotive fields. In traditional fuel vehicles, FPC is required for car lights, instrument panels, steering wheels, etc. The electrification and intelligence of automobiles have opened up a broader market space for FPC, and power batteries, sensors, and cameras need to use FPC. Taking batteries as an example, the new energy vehicle power battery collection line used traditional copper wire harness solutions. Compared with traditional wiring harnesses, FPC flexible circuit boards have high integration, automatic assembly, assembly accuracy, ultra-thin thickness, ultra-softness, Lightweight and many other advantages, especially in terms of automation and lightweight, provide a cheap for battery companies to improve production efficiency and save unit production costs. With the gradual popularization of new energy vehicles, in the context of declining subsidies and battery prices, battery companies need to introduce and apply new materials in power batteries in order to reduce costs. In recent years, through continuous improvement of the process, FPC manufacturers have further reduced the price of FPC for power batteries. With the joint promotion of power batteries and FPC manufacturers, the introduction environment of domestic FPC in the field of power batteries has been greatly improved, and it is gradually being adopted. It is widely adopted by various power battery manufacturers, and FPC is expected to be imported in large quantities. On the other hand, among the FPC raw materials, the cost of copper clad laminates accounts for a high proportion. Yan Fan, an analyst at China Merchants Securities, said that the price pressure of copper clad laminates is expected to be eliminated in 2022. From an investment point of view, FPC products of new energy vehicle power batteries require a certain verification period, and manufacturers that have entered the supply chain of car factories and battery factories have a first-mover advantage. In addition, FPC manufacturers that take the lead in deploying downstream integrated products CCS can further increase the value of bicycles, which is worthy of attention. In addition, material and equipment suppliers are also expected to benefit from it. Fangbang is the first domestic research and development, production, sales and An enterprise integrating service, Hongxin Electronics and Jingwang Electronics are its customers; Oat Technology has provid...

Why does the PCB surface blisters? How to deal with it? The blistering of the circuit board surface is actually a problem of poor bonding force of the board surface, and then it is the surface quality problem of the board surface, which contains two aspects: 1. The cleanliness of the board surface; 2. The problem of surface micro-roughness (or surface energy). The blistering problem on all circuit boards can be summarized as the above-mentioned reasons. The bonding force between the coatings is poor or too low, and it is difficult to resist the coating stress, mechanical stress and thermal stress generated in the production process during the subsequent production process and assembly process, which will eventually cause different degrees of separation between the coatings. Some factors that may cause poor board quality in the production and processing process are summarized as follows: 1. The problem of substrate processing: Especially for some thinner substrates (generally below 0.8mm), it is not suitable to use a brushing machine to brush the plate because of the poor rigidity of the substrate. This may not be able to effectively remove the protective layer specially treated to prevent the oxidation of the copper foil on the board surface during the production and processing of the substrate. Although the layer is thin and the brush is easier to remove, it is difficult to use chemical treatment, so in the production process It is important to pay attention to control during processing, so as to avoid the problem of blistering on the board caused by the poor bonding between the substrate copper foil and chemical copper; this problem will also cause blackening and browning when the thin inner layer is blackened. Poor, uneven color, partial black browning and other problems. 2. The phenomenon of poor surface treatment caused by oil stains or other liquids contaminated with dust during the machining (drilling, lamination, milling, etc.) process of the board surface. 3. Poor sinking copper brush plate: The pressure on the front grinding plate of the sinking copper is too high, causing the orifice to be deformed, brushing out the copper foil rounded corners of the orifice or even leaking the base material, which will cause the orifice to bubble during the process of electroplating and tinning welding of the sinking copper; even if it is brushed The board does not cause leakage of the substrate, but the heavy brushing board will increase the roughness of the hole copper, so during the process of microetching roughening, the copper foil at this place is very easy to produce excessive roughening phenomenon, and there will also be a certain quality. Hidden hazards; therefore, attention should be paid to strengthening the control of the brushing process, and the brushing process parameters can be adjusted to the best through the wear scar test and the water film test; 4. Washing problem: Because the electroplating treatment of copper sinking has to go th...

Rogers RT/duroid 5870 and 5880 glass microfiber reinforced PTFE composites are designed for exacting stripline and microstrip circuit applications. Today we’re learning what stripline and microstrip line are. Stripline: a banded line that walks in the inner layer and is buried inside the PCB, as shown below The brown part is the conductor, the green part is the PCB insulating dielectric, stripline is the ribbon wire embedded between the two layers of conductors. Because stripline is embedded between two layers of conductors, its electric field distribution is between two conductors (planes) that wrap it, and does not radiate energy or be disturbed by external radiation. but because it is all surrounded by dielectric (dielectric constant is larger than 1), the signal is transmitted slower in stripline than in microstrip line! Microstrip line: a strip line attached to the surface of a PCB layer, as shown below The brown part is the conductor, the green part is the PCB insulating dielectric, and the brown block above is the microstrip line. The light green part is epoxy organic material. Since one side of the microstrip line is exposed to the air (which can form radiation around or be disturbed by radiation around it), and the other side is attached to the PCB insulating dielectric, the electric field formed by it is distributed in the air. The other part is distributed in PCB insulating medium. Its outstanding advantage is that the signal transmission speed in the microstrip line is faster than that in the stripline. Conclusion 1. Microstrip line is a banded wire (signal line) separated from the ground plane with a dielectric. If the thickness, width, and distance between the line and the ground plane are controllable, its characteristic impedance is also controllable. 2. Stripline is a copper strip line placed in the middle of the dielectric between two layers of conductive plane. If the thickness and width of the line, the dielectric constant of the medium and the distance between the two conductive planes are controllable, then the characteristic impedance of the line is also controllable. Impedance calculation of microstrip and Striplines: a. microstrip line Z ={87/[ sqrt (Er+ 1.41)]} ln [5.98 H/(0.8 W+T)] Among them, the W is the line width, the T is the copper thickness of the line, the H is the distance from the line to the reference plane, and the Er is the dielectric constant of the PCB plate material. This formula must be applied at 0.1<(W/H)<2.0 and 1<(Er) to 15. b. stripline Z =[60/ sqrt (Er)] ln {4H/[0.67π(T +0.8W)]} Among them, the H is the distance between the two reference planes, and the line is located in the middle of the two reference planes. This formula must be applied in W/H<0.35 and T/H<0.25.
