Camptech takes the risk out of ordering PCBs. Big on capabilities. Small in price. Exceptional quality.

Factors Affecting PCB Thickness In many instances, PCB thickness needs to be controlled tightly for optimum PCB performance. So, the combination of PCB core materials used is critical to functionality, and the thickness or type of each layer matters.A Printed Circuit...

Electric current moves through a PCB along its copper layers. So, choosing the incorrect copper thickness can cripple the performance of a circuit assembly. However, by understanding the relationship of copper weight to signal transmission and PCB fabrication cost,...

Finding a PCB manufacturer could prove to be a time-consuming and risky task. A web search returns many search results with no easy way to compare the various PCB companies and their capabilities. The good news is that we have done a lot of the research and analysis...

The PCB Material Selection Process The PCB materials you select will make-or-break your PCB. Choosing the incorrect materials sinks a PCB into a sea of performance and reliability issues. But by taking a systematic approach to PCB material selection, you can avoid a...

The Reliability and Risk Assessment Branch of the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center received and analyzed 882 PCB coupon submissions from PCB suppliers. The top ten suppliers provided 638 samples, in which 260 non-conformances were detected. The issues were classified...

What are PCB Laminates PCB laminates are one of the primary materials used in the manufacture of multilayer PCBs. PCB laminates are made by curing layers of a fabric with resins under pressure and temperature. Varying fabric thickness, material weaves, and resin...

High processing temperatures are an essential consideration when selecting a PCB laminate. Elevated temperatures cause delamination, which results from the weakening of the material's copper/dielectric bond. PCB materials used for a lead-free circuit assembly need to...
