International standards have been maintained in the designing and manufacturing of new PCB series

Manufacturing of PCBs involves many complex processes and the value of various types of PCBs manufactured is dependent on the hi-tech processes. With cost efficiency and energy efficiency becoming the buzz words the end user industries are looking for smart suppliers.

Leading PCB manufacturer, HTD Circuits announced a new series of rigid as well flexible PCB. Explaining the properties of the new products, the MD said the rigid PCBs will be available in three types— single-layer, double-layer and multilayer PCBs.

He said the newly launched single-layer PCBs are significant for the high-efficiency mode with components mounted on one side of the board and the conductor patterns kept on the other side.

The double-layer PCBs have been made with complex circuits in mind and there are doubled areas for conductor patterns. More innovation has been done in ‘vias’, which are electrical ‘bridges’ functioning as holes filled with metals that touch the conductor on both sides.

Besides higher reliability, the newly launched flexible PCBs easily fits into tighter spaces without bulky connectors interfacing the other boards.

The MD said the new Flex PCBs have very fair, rugged and dependable interface. They easily fit the product into a small space and connect two rigid boards within a small space.

He said international standards have been maintained in the designing and manufacturing of new PCB series.

Reiterating that quality product and customer satisfaction as the corner stone of the company’s commitment, the MD said, the top guideline is not to deviate from established quality parameters.

Quality levels of materials are in a constant update by way of stringent testing and statistical controls. The new PCBs will serve many major segments. They include

Telecommunication, Consumer Electronics, Automation Industries, Home Security, Automobiles, Computer Applications and Lighting industry.

The Flex PCBs have been given button plating, which is larger than rigid PCBs. Each design is backed by a layout that is conducive for circuit density and line spacing. The materials are made of fibreglass called as copper clad laminate. The copper tracks have been chemically etched to connect with different components within the PCB.

To thwart counterfeiting hologram packaging has been introduced. The United States Bureau of Industry and security has reported 250 percent increase in counterfeit electrical products, especially in semiconductors.

Counterfeit parts are noted for inferior quality and decreased performance besides becoming public hazards. So, the MD said branding is important and end users have to make sure that they are procuring from an original component manufacturer or a franchised distributor.
