Modern electronics pack more power into tighter spaces than ever. That heat has to go somewhere. Metal Core Printed Circuit Boards (MCPCBs) solve the problem at its source by building a heat-spreading layer directly into the board. PICA Manufacturing Solutions designs and manufactures aluminum- and...
Modern electronics are expected to run hotter, switch faster, and survive harsher environments than ever. Standard FR-4 hits its limits quickly in these scenarios. Ceramic printed circuit boards (PCBs) step in with exceptional thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, and mechanical stability, enabling compact, long-life designs in power, RF/microwave,...
This blog is an introduction to a white paper that contains additional information on surface finishes including: Immersion Silver or Tin, OSP (Organic Solderability Preservatives), HASL (Hot Air Solder Leveling), Carbon Ink, and Combination Finishes (e.g., Hard Gold/OSP, Soft Gold/OSP, Gold Immersion/OSP).

Ceramic substrate PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) represent a significant advancement in circuit board technology, especially when compared to traditional FR4 boards commonly used in electronics. These ceramic-based boards are gaining popularity due to their superior heat management, stability, and reliability. Ceramic Printed Circuit Boards are increasingly employed in...
