Things to Consider When Selecting PCB Materials - Part 1 | Sierra Circuits
Channel: Sierra Circuits
Date: 2024-01-23

There are many variables to consider when choosing PCB materials, these include thermal, mechanical, electrical, environment, reliability, signal integrity, assembly and lastly the manufacturability.

This webinar will try to cover the 10 most important considerations that the engineer needs to select the best fit for the product they are designing.

Basic properties an engineer needs to consider CTE, Tg, Dk, Df and Td.

We will cover the following topics, cost and availability, Quality which will look at different types of material, tolerance, manufacturing of the materials.

Signal integrity covering, Dk, Df, Glass types, resins and tolerance across different frequencies. We will look at the various copper foil properties including roughness, performance and RCC and RCF materials -v- standard PCB manufacturing.

Thermal management including heat management, extreme conditions, thermal properties and reliability during multiple heat cycles.

Finally, we will look at reliability from manufacturing multiple laminations, to thermal cycling, assembly, testing and harsh environments.
