A printed circuit board is a plate made of dielectric (electrical insulating material) that contains the circuitry of an electronic circuit and connects various electronic components together. It is needed in order to simplify the manufacturing process of an electronic device and make it more reliable.
You can make a board yourself, but this is a rather difficult task, which it is better to entrust professionals with experience … Otherwise, you may damage the electronic device or its components. KLONA has a wealth of experience in PCB design and will be happy to help bring your idea to life.
COST AND TIME OF PRODUCTION OF PRINTED BOARDS TO ORDER
Price and terms depend on such factors:
- type of board;
- the complexity of the electronic device;
- scope of work.
Exact price and terms PCB design to order can be calculated after studying all the details of the project. If you need custom PCB design, contact our managers.
TYPES OF CIRCUIT BOARDS
Depending on the number of layers
Single layer boards
This is the simplest type of circuit board. They are made from cheap materials and are suitable for low-frequency circuits.
Double layer boards
The next level contains boards consisting of two layers. Schemes in them get divorced much easier and the material used for manufacturing is more High Quality.
Multilayer boards
They are used for the most difficult electronic devices.
Depending on the properties of the material
Flexible Printed Circuit Boards
Flexible boards are built around a thin but durable dielectric. The flex board is the same as the rigid one in all but kink ability while maintaining their properties.
Rigid-flex PCBs
Such a board contains at least two dielectric layers: flexible and rigid. At the same time, in different places of the board, the design can be different in properties and the number of layers. This kind of boards applies in the following areas: automotive, medicine, sophisticated household appliances, military industry, etc.
STEPS OF PCB DESIGN
Obtaining initial data and drawing up technical specifications
At this stage, the requirements for the design of the board to order are formed, as well as all existing initial data. After that, the exact terms and cost of the project are calculated.
Creating a schematic diagram
A schematic diagram is a visual display of the elements of an electrical device and the connections between them. Based on this scheme, the board will be developed.
Formation of a library of components
A list of each component of the board and its complete description is created. Namely: size, function, electrical performance, etc.
Placing components on a PCB
This is followed by the preliminary placement of components and the establishment of connections between them. It can be performed both manually and in a special program.
Tracing
This is the design of conductors between elements, i.e. establishing connections between all elements of the printed circuit board.
Checking and making edits
At the end of the routing process, the board is thoroughly tested to perform all functions. Provided that inaccuracies or errors are found, the necessary corrections are made.
Registration of design documentation
When we are convinced that the board is completely ready and fulfills the assigned functions, then we proceed to the design of the design documentation required for production.
PCB MANUFACTURING METHODS
Additive way
With the additive method, the pattern is applied to the non-foil material by chemical copper plating through a protective mask.
Subtractive way
The subtractive method involves the formation of a pattern on a foil material, by removing unnecessary areas.
