3 points for surface treatment of flexible circuit boards

As a manufacturer specializing in the production of flexible circuit boards, the industry of products used by Flyheaters has covered the optoelectronic industry, notebook manufacturing, automotive industry and instrument monitoring industry. Flyheaters has always been adhering to the business philosophy of “scientific and technological innovation, honesty and integrity”, and has been widely favored by customers in recent years. In order to enable our customers to better understand what we are doing, flyheaters's technicians summarized the surface treatment process for flexible circuit boards, and the key points can be divided into the following three points.

Anti-oxidation process
The oxidation prevention process is a chemical process that forms a thin film on the bare copper surface. This film has anti-oxidation, thermal shock resistance and moisture resistance. Therefore, in the PCB manufacturing industry, the OSP process can replace the hot air leveling technology. With the development of light, thin, short, miniaturized and multi-functional electronic products, printed flexible circuit boards are developing in the direction of high precision, thinness, multi-layer and small holes, especially the rapid development of SMT. Development, so that SMT with high-density thin plates continue to develop, making the hot air leveling process more and more not suitable for the above requirements. Compared with other processes, the anti-oxidation process is more suitable for the development of SMT technology in the electronics industry.

Tin plating
Tin plating includes both electroless tin plating and immersion tin plating. Tin plating and its alloys are coatings with good solderability and corrosion resistance, and are widely used in electronic components and printed circuit boards. Preparation of tin layer In addition to physical methods such as hot dip, spray coating, electroplating, immersion plating and electroless plating have been widely used in industry because of their simplicity.

Gold plating
In the flexible circuit board manufacturing industry, the gold plating process is similar to tin plating, using electrolysis or other chemical methods to attach gold to the surface of metal or other objects to form a thin layer of gold.

How does customer use FPC

For this electronic product, there are not many friends who may know about it now. Therefore, as a professional fpc manufacturer, Dongguan Guixiang Insulation Material Co.,Ltd., has some words in the production of circuit boards and circuit boards to say to customers:

First of all, we want to take a specific event as an example, specifically for your analysis. There used to be a U disk manufacturer to purchase a large number of circuit boards. As a result, the employees were too hard at the time of installation. Although the test passed, after the sale, the customer did not use it for a few days, and there was a lot of damage, and some U disk fever. It was useless for two days, and both sides had a certain degree of loss. Obviously, this situation is because employees do not have a good protection for fpc, so customers must pay attention to let employees be careful and strengthen the test.

Flyheaters's fpc is widely used in a variety of equipment, including mobile phones, various instruments and meters, digital products. We have always been "scientific and technological innovation, integrity-based" as our business philosophy, and strive to achieve "customer first, quality service."

What is the specific difference between PCB and FPC?

PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is an important electronic component, a support for electronic components, and a provider of electrical connections for electronic components. Because it is made by electronic printing, it is called a "printed circuit board".

FPC: (flexible circuit board): referred to as "soft board", also known as "flexible circuit board", also known as "soft circuit board,  "FPC PCB" or "FPCB, Flexible and Rigid-Flex".

PCB generally uses FR4 as the substrate, also called hard board, which cannot be bent and flexed.
FPC generally uses PI as a substrate, which is a flexible material that can be bent and flexed arbitrarily.

Application industry
PCB is generally used in places where there is no need to bend and have relatively hard strength. Rigid circuit boards are mainly used in mobile phones, computer motherboard graphics cards, mobile phone batteries, multimeters, automobiles and other electronic products.

FPC generally operates on links that require repeated flexing and small parts, such as the flipped portion of the flip phone cover, the printer link to the print head, various modules (such as the display module on the motherboard), and the flexible circuit board. Used in electronic computers, communications, aerospace and home appliances industries.

Heat dissipation
Relative to a rigid wiring board, since the flexible printed circuit board has poor heat dissipation capability, it is necessary to provide a sufficient wire width.

With the development of light, thin, short and small products, some product PCBs can not meet the requirements very well, and will gradually use FPC to achieve. In short, FPC can understand the soft, flexible PCB.

The market prospect of flexible circuit boards

Nowadays, due to the broad industrial space of flexible electronic technology, more and more industrial capital has begun to join the flexible electronics industry. As we all know, with the wide range of touch-screen phones and tablets, flexible circuit boards are more valuable. The market for flexible circuit boards is gradually expanding, but the market prospects for this device at home and abroad are still very large.

Domestic:
China's current FPC market has a low output value and a low market share. Although there are many manufacturers engaged in the research of flexible circuit boards in China, about one-third of them are foreign-invested enterprises, and their total output value accounts for more than 80% of the total domestic FPC production.

International:
According to reports, as early as 2010, Japanese soft board manufacturers NipponMektron (flag wins) revenue increased by 35% than in 2009, has reached 2.22 billion US dollars, ranking first in the world. Some other manufacturers, such as M-FLEX, are also in a position we can't surpass in terms of annual income.

So in general, the market prospects for flexible circuit boards are still considerable, but technically speaking, there are still many places in China that we must learn from others.

How do electric cars provide a heater?

The development of electric vehicles has been very rapid. Let us discuss how electric vehicles are heated today. This is mainly related to electric car heating films. The following are some opinions from related industries.

Viewpoint 1:(From arl Young, M.E., Li-ion, supercaps, EVs )

In the larger Li-ion power packs that we design for high-performance output, we provide liquid cooling/warming. Also, the electric motor will have liquid cooling. The warm liquid can be channeled in two ways. When the driver or vehicle occupants want warming-up, we channel the warm liquid to their seats; otherwise, it goes to a heat-exchanger. Of course, if you’re in slow moving traffic, your power pack and electric motors will remain relatively cool; then we have resistive heating elements to warm up the coolant a bit more. For ambient air warming, we use quartz heating elements.

In case, you were wondering about the warm liquid returning to the batteries. It is very important to keep the batteries warm in cold weather to avoid internal cell damages. So, we maintain 15–40C for our power packs.

Viewpoint 2: (From Frank Schmitt Frank Schmitt, 20 years of EV tinkering)

Some electric cars use a heat pump: basically an air conditioner that can be reversed to pump heat into the vehicle rather than out of it. This adds some cost, complexity, and weight to the air conditioning system.

Others simply run power from the battery through a standard resistive heating element. This uses considerably more power for the same amount of heat, but is simpler, smaller, and cheaper.

Most new electric cars can be programmed to preheat the cabin while still attached to the charger, so the initial warm-up period doesn’t impact range and the car is toasty warm before you even step in.

Viewpoint 3: (From Cyrus Ramsey, studied Motion Picture Production at Pacific Design Academy )

They work the same way as any other electric heater. Some have a simple heating element (like a toaster or a space heater), while others have a heat pump (which is more complex but also more efficient).

In general, the most important thing is to choose efficient silicone EV battery heaters. Flyheaters can provide customization and technical support for various battery heaters. For more information about heaters, please visit the official website www.flyheaters.com and contact us.
