Top Ultra thin core pcb factory: When the board has only copper tracks and features, and no circuit elements such as capacitors, resistors or active devices have been manufactured into the actual substrate of the board, it is more correctly referred to as printed wiring board (PWB) or etched wiring board. Use of the term PWB or printed wiring board although more accurate and distinct from what would be known as a true printed circuit board, has generally fallen by the wayside for many people as the distinction between circuit and wiring has become blurred.

Metal Core PCB means the core (base) material for PCB is the metal, not the normal FR4/CEM1-3, etc. and currently the most common metal used for MCPCB manufacturer are Aluminum, Copper and steel alloy. Aluminum has good heat transferring and dissipation ability, but yet relatively cheaper; copper has even better performance but relatively more expensive, and steel can be divided into normal steel and stainless steel. It more rigid than both aluminum and copper, but thermal conductivity is lower than them too. People will choose their own base/core material according to their different application.

But sometimes, limited to space or margin, or needed by design purpose, people need much thinner thickness such as 0.25 mm, 0.20 mm, or even 0.15 mm, so that the PCB can be used in such as SIM card, sensor card, and so on. Because of extreme thickness, extra thin PCB, or very thin PCB name came out. Different with the flexible PCB, extra thin PCB refers to a PCB substrate made by FR4 materials. But if you need board thickness less than 0.10 mm, then you should use flexible circuit which can be 0.06 mm for 1L FPC or 0.10 mm for 2L FPC.

Rigid flex printed circuit boards (PCBs) are a combination of rigid and flexible boards. The rigid board is typically made from fiberglass, and the flexible board is generally polyimide. Both are etched with copper before they are bonded together with an adhesive. The finished panel is very strong and can flex without damage. Rigid flex PCBs are for applications where space is limited, and flexibility is required, such as in mobile phones and wearable electronics.

Best Technology, establish on June 28, 2006, is a Hong Kong registered company whom focused on one-stop solution provider of FPC, Rigid-flex, MCPCB, FR4 PCB, Ceramic PCB, Special PCB such as Heavy Copper (up to 20 OZ), extra thin PCB (0.10, 0.15mm), and PCB assembly service.

Flex PCB ( FPC ) is stands for Flexible Printed Circuits, or sometimes we just call it Flexible Circuits or Flex Circuits, which is the electronic component developed to allow electronic goods to become smaller and lighter, and it have been widely used from 1980s in USA & Europe, and then widely spread out around the world. Since flex circuits (flexible circuit) has excellent working efficiency and strong heat-resistance, it is widely used as a core component of all electronic goods such as cameras, computers and peripheral equipments, mobile phones, video & audio units, camcorders, printers, DVD, TFT LCD, satellite equipment, military equipments, and medical instruments. Anyway, Best Technology flex pcb manufacturer will provide OEM/ODM service. See even more details on https://www.bstpcb.com/.

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. Capability: We are continued to improve our MCPCB, FR4 PCB & FPC & Ceramic PCB manufacturing level to get satisfactory result from customers and ourselves.

The layer on top of the copper foil is called the soldermask layer. This layer gives the PCB its green (or, at PCB & MCPCB, red) color. It is overlaid onto the copper layer to insulate the copper traces from accidental contact with other metal, solder, or conductive bits. This layer helps the user to solder to the correct places and prevent solder jumpers. In the example below, the green solder mask is applied to the majority of the PCB, covering up the small traces but leaving the silver rings and SMD pads exposed so they can be soldered to. Soldermask is most commonly green in color but nearly any color is possible. We use red for almost all the PCB & MCPCB boards, white for the IOIO board, and purple for the Best Technology boards.

Tg means Glass Transition Temperature. As flammability of printed circuit board (PCB) is V-0 (UL 94-V0), so if the temperature exceeds designated Tg value, the board will changed from glassy state to rubbery state and then the function of PCB will be affected. If working temperature of your product is higher than normal (130-140C), then have to use High Tg PCB material which is > 170C. and popular PCB high value are 170C, 175C, and 180C. Normally the FR4 circuit board Tg value should be at least 10-20C higher than working temperature of product. If you 130TG board, working temperature will be lower than 110C; if use 170 high TG board, then maximum working temperature should be lower than 150C.
