Rigid PCB refers to a type of electronic component that uses a hard substrate, forms circuit graphics on the substrate through printing or chemical methods, and processes them through metallization and perforation. It cannot bend or fold like a flexible PCB, so it has certain limitations in use, but at the same time, it is widely used in various electronic devices that require fixed and stable circuit connections due to its high stability and durability.
Low cost: Rigid circuit boards are made of hard materials, which have lower production costs and are easy to process, resulting in lower overall costs.
High stability: Due to the rigidity of its materials and the stability of its structure, rigid circuit boards can maintain good electrical performance even under high temperatures and frequent losses, making them suitable for applications that require high-speed data transmission and high-power loads.
Easy to manufacture and maintain: The manufacturing process of rigid circuit boards is relatively mature, and maintenance and replacement are also relatively convenient.
Lack of flexibility: Due to being made of hard materials, rigid circuit boards do not have flexibility in bending, folding, etc., and cannot adapt to complex bending and folding environments.
Poor environmental adaptability: Rigid circuit boards have poor adaptability to the environment and are easily affected by impact or vibration, which may lead to problems such as circuit breakers.
Heavy weight: Compared to flexible circuit boards, rigid circuit boards are usually heavier, which is not conducive to lightweight design.
Rigid circuit boards are widely used in various fields, including communication, computer, industrial control, medical instruments, and more.
In the field of communication, rigid circuit boards are widely used in portable communication devices such as mobile phones, GPS navigation, walkie talkies, etc. These devices require complex electronic circuits to be implemented in small spaces, and the high-precision and high-density characteristics of rigid circuit boards can meet this demand. In addition, large communication equipment such as base stations and satellite devices also require the use of rigid circuit boards, which are ideal choices due to their high reliability and stability.
In the field of computer science, rigid circuit boards are mainly used for core components such as motherboards and expansion cards. The rigid circuit board on the motherboard needs to implement various complex circuits to provide a stable and reliable working environment for the computer. The rigid circuit board in the expansion card needs to meet the requirements of high-speed signal transmission and high frequency.
Various controllers, sensors, and instruments in the field of industrial control require the use of rigid circuit boards. These devices need to achieve precise control and data acquisition functions, and have high reliability. The high precision and reliability of rigid circuit boards can meet the requirements of these devices in high stability working environments.
In the field of medical instruments, rigid circuit boards are used for high-precision data acquisition and control. Medical equipment requires extremely high precision in data acquisition and control, and rigid circuit boards have become an important component of electronic circuits in medical equipment due to their high stability and reliability.
In addition, rigid circuit boards are widely used in consumer electronics products such as mobile phones, tablets, digital cameras, as well as automotive electronic systems, safety control systems, and other fields. With the development of artificial intelligence and IoT technology, the application of rigid circuit boards in smart devices and industrial automation equipment is becoming increasingly widespread.
The manufacturing process of rigid circuit boards includes multiple steps such as substrate preparation, circuit pattern production, chemical treatment, metallization, drilling, surface treatment, printed copper coating, outer layer pattern production, and cutting. Among them, substrate preparation is the most important part of the entire manufacturing process, and its quality directly affects the performance and stability of the entire circuit board.
The substrate material of rigid circuit boards is usually made of glass fiber reinforced epoxy resin, which has excellent mechanical, heat resistance, and electrical properties; Copper foil is commonly used as the metallization layer because copper has excellent conductivity and weldability.
Manufacturing rigid circuit boards usually requires designing a circuit diagram first, then converting the circuit diagram into a PCB file, and conducting layout design.
Then, using methods such as chemical etching or mechanical processing, the circuit diagram is formed on the copper foil to form the circuit line, followed by drilling, coating solder pads, and other treatments.
Finally, the circuit board is assembled, electronic components are implanted, and soldering is performed.
Rigid circuit boards require specific dimensions, so careful measurement and fabrication are necessary.
Rigid circuit boards usually require mechanical fixation with other components, so fixing and installation issues need to be considered during design.
Rigid circuit boards support high-density circuits, therefore requiring precise PCB design.
Rigid circuit boards usually require high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and other properties, so attention should be paid to material selection and manufacturing.
The quality of rigid circuit boards has a significant impact on the performance and reliability of electronic products, therefore strict quality control and testing are required.

Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is a widely used method in electronics manufacturing for assembling components directly onto the surface of a PCB. Unlike traditional through-hole technology, SMT uses smaller, compact components called Surface Mount Devices (SMDs), offering benefits such as miniaturization, higher component density, automation, and better performance.
Energy efficiency and sustainability are becoming critical priorities, with manufacturers adopting low-power technologies and greener production processes. The deployment of 5G networks is fueling demand for high-performance ICs, and discussions on 6G are already underway. Additionally, the automotive sector's transition to electric vehicles and autonomous driving is driving the need for specialized, reliable, and efficient ICs.
Inadequate solder paste application is one of the leading causes of defects in the PCB assembly process. From inconsistent viscosity to improper storage, several factors can lead to solder paste application issues, resulting in defective solder joints and reduced circuit reliability.
Selecting the right Copper Clad Laminate (CCL) is crucial in PCB design, affecting both performance and reliability. Key considerations when choosing a CCL include understanding the end-use requirements (such as consumer electronics, automotive, or aerospace), material selection (such as FR4, polyimide, or ceramic), and the laminate's glass transition temperature (Tg) for thermal stability.
Key aspects include controlling impedance, minimizing signal reflections, optimizing layer stackups and ground planes, and keeping trace lengths short. Differential pairs should be routed closely, and vias should be minimized to reduce inductance. Proper decoupling capacitors, shielding for EMI, and thermal management are essential for stable performance. Simulation tools and prototypes help identify issues early, ensuring the PCB meets the high-frequency requirements.
Each type of probe has specific advantages and is chosen based on the testing needs, whether for electrical faults, component placement accuracy, or thermal analysis, ensuring high-quality and reliable PCBs.
