Main types and application scenarios of PCB

As a substrate and key interconnection component for electronic parts, the manufacturing quality of PCB not only directly affects the reliability of electronic products, but also affects the overall competitiveness of system products. Therefore, it is called the "mother of electronic system products".

Classification of PCB boards

PCB boards can be classified in many ways according to their different characteristics and application scenarios. Common classification methods are as follows:

Classification by number of layers: single-layer boards, double-layer boards, multi-layer boards, etc. Single-layer boards have a simple structure and are suitable for simple circuits; multi-layer boards can achieve more complex circuit designs and higher integration.

Classification by material: metal substrates, paper substrates, synthetic resin substrates, etc. Metal substrates have good thermal conductivity and are suitable for high-power devices; paper substrates have low costs and are suitable for general electronic products.

Classification by the hardness of finished products: rigid PCB boards, flexible PCB boards (FPC), rigid-flex PCBs, etc. Rigid PCB boards have a stable structure and are suitable for fixed installation; flexible PCB boards can be bent and folded, suitable for occasions with limited space; rigid-flex PCBs combine the advantages of both and have higher design flexibility.
