Aerospace Devices:

We are very proud of our PCBs used for NASA ,although they are just some prototypes, designed by US university.  highly advanced electronic devices or gadgets for any aerospace product, rapid turn prototypes with effective engineers play a vital role in making the device successful. There are many types of PCBs used in the manufacture of heavy aerospace equipment.

Military and aerospace are two industries that utilize the most advanced electronic applications. The systems used in these fields require precision and superiority in terms of performance. There are several factors that affect the design of these PCBs:

Materials of Construction: PCB components used in military and aerospace applications must be strong enough to withstand high temperatures. Generally, high-temperature laminates (such as aluminum and copper substrates) are used in PCBs for aerospace and military applications. Today, anodized aluminum is used to minimize the effects of thermally induced oxidation. Various aluminum substrates combined with thermally conductive pre-nails are known to have weight advantages.

Reduce electromagnetic induction and attenuation: In the PCB assembly process for military and aerospace applications, the strands are immersed in hot melt solder, dried and cured. Dry welding can increase the dry strength. It helps to improve the conversion of multiple stranded wires into solid wires, eliminate air gaps, and stabilize airflow. This helps reduce the influence and attenuation of electromagnetic interference (EMI). Moreover, it also increases the reliability of aviation/military PCBs by approximately 2% to 5%.

Conformal coating and surface treatment: Most aerospace and defense applications are under extreme environmental conditions, such as continuous exposure to moisture, water, extreme temperatures and humidity. Therefore, the application of an appropriate conformal coating becomes important. Generally, consider using acid-based sprays for conformal coatings. Other types of surface treatments and coatings include ENIG, HASL, immersion silver, etc.

Here are some advanced aerospace and military applications that utilize high-quality PCBs:

• Cryptanalysis System

• ASRAAM-advanced short-range air-to-air missile

Automotive:

Automotive electronic products are import market for PCB. For automotive printed circuit boards, reliability is of the utmost importance. They need to survive extreme environmental conditions and vibrations without any setbacks in performance. Automotive PCBs must meet strict thermal cycle tests, thermal shock tests, and temperature and humidity tests before they are considered. The circuit board must suppress conductive anode filament (CAF) defects in the dielectric. CAF can cause a short circuit between the copper clad laminate (CCL) and the conductive traces.

In addition, it is expected that the circuit board will be fully operational in the long term. Heat resistance and service life make automotive printed circuit boards completely different from other printed circuit boards. PCB manufacturers must comply with the ISO/TS 16949 standard, which is based on the ISO 9001 automotive standard. VictoryPCB is a professional manufacturer of automotive circuit boards in China who own ISO/TS 16949 certificate. Its products include: car navigation circuit boards, car instrument circuit boards, car charger circuit boards, and new energy car circuit boards.

Types of Automotive PCBs

Printed circuit boards has many applications in countless sectors ranging from healthcare to electronics, but their impart is perhaps the most evident in the automotive industry. So what are these special types of PCBs made up of? Let's have a look.

Led PCBs

The LED boards made of aluminum substrate since they require heat dissipation. They can be found in car indicators, headlights, and brake lights.

Flexible PCBs

Automotive applications, in particular, carry a number of advantages, not only in the usual arena of reliability but even more so for the weight savings that a flex PCB offers compared with a standard PCB and wiring harness. Flex PCBs greatly reduce the labor involved in manufacturing a traditional automotive wiring harness. And the inherent resistance of flex PCBs to vibration makes them ideal for the harsh environment inside a motor vehicle.

Heavy copper PCBs

The Automotive printed circuit boards employ thicker copper (Cu) in the outer and inner layers of the boards. These heavy copper boards are preferred over the regular ones since they can withstand high temperature, high frequency, and high current variations. The regular boards display a copper thickness of around 25µm to 50µm. Whereas, the heavy copper PCBs will be 150µm to 200µm thick. These boards are implemented in safety and signaling systems.

Medical Equipments:

In recent years, the medical industry has attached great importance to PCB assembly and manufacturing processes. For every medical project, PCB manufacturing requires high-end customization. Whether it is high, medium or small batch PCB production, PCB assemblers must continue to develop in chemical and electroplating processes, pressing, wiring and drilling processes under high temperature/vacuum in order to obtain high yields in mass production. The medical market also points to fierce competition on how to make devices compact, multifunctional, user-friendly and cost-effective.

Manufacturing Trends for Medical Grade PCBs

The current industrial production revolution, or Industry 4.0, emphasizes communications and software to improve manufacturing speed and efficiency. To ensure optimal medical grade PCBs, be sure to incorporate the standards described below that have emerged from this new industrial paradigm.

• Ensure Design Intent: The best way to incorporate design intent throughout your board build process is to partner with your CM early in the development process.

• Employ Digital Twin Technology: Simulation has long been used to prevent waste and mitigate development costs. For PCB manufacturing, digital twin technology encapsulates this objective and identifies errors or potential errors before the first board is spun.

• Open and Transparent Collaboration: Establish and utilize open and transparent communication with your CM from the start so that your medical grade PCB becomes a collaboration between you and your CM.

• Optimize DFM and DFA Utilization: Right-first-time (RFT) manufacturing is essential to optimize medical PCBA development. To meet this high yield rate objective, make design choices that utilize your CM’s DFM and DFA rules and guidelines.

• Agile Manufacturing Process: By initiating agile processes, board builders can incorporate design changes iteratively with minimal manufacturing disruptions.

• Types of PCBs for the Medical Industry

• Rigid pcb or flexible circuit boards with magnetic flux telemetry communication are highly used to manufacture medical devices such as cardiac devices, pacemakers and ICDs. Multi-layer flexible PCB has a very high application in neural simulation implants, which requires large-scale miniaturization. For hearing aid devices and infusion drug pumps, a rigid/flexible PCB is more preferred because it has a flexible coil that facilitates the communication mechanism. In order to obtain durable and safe electronic solutions, customized PCBs for in-vivo and in-vitro diagnostic applications adopt mature designs to meet customers' unique specifications.

They are many rigid-flex PCB used in medical equipments.
