Overview
Copper PCBs are widely used in the electronics industry due to their superior electrical performance and durability.
The process for Manufacturing Copper PCBs
The manufacturing process for copper PCBs involves several steps. First, the circuit patterns are printed onto a copper-clad laminate using a photolithography process. Then, the printed circuit board is etched with an acid to remove the unwanted copper and leave the desired circuit pattern. After etching, the board is drilled with holes to accommodate the components. Finally, the board is plated with a thin layer of copper to protect against oxidation and provide reliable electrical contact. The board is then ready for component assembly. By following these steps, copper PCBs can be manufactured quickly and reliably with a high level of precision.
Advantages of Our Copper PCB Capabilities
Our copper PCB capabilities provide a number of advantages. Firstly, copper PCBs are highly durable, making them ideal for long-term applications.
