Anisotropic Conductive Film (ACF) represents a significant advancement in the realm of electronic packaging technology. Serving as a crucial interconnect material, ACF stands out for its unique combination of attributes. It acts as a transparent polymeric connector material, endowed with the triple characteristics of adhesion, conductivity, and insulation. This makes...
Flexible Printed Circuits (FPC) are revolutionizing the electronics industry with their unique combination of flexibility, reliability, and lightweight construction. At the heart of these circuits lies their base material, typically polyimide (PI) or polyester (PET) films. These materials are selected for their excellent properties, including high density, thinness,...
In the fast-paced realm of the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) industry, achieving optimal signal integrity is crucial for the success of high-speed digital communications. As technology advances at a breakneck pace, the demand for faster and more efficient data transmission grows exponentially. This is where differential impedance, a vital...
At PICA, we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of new technological advancements, including embedded passives. Through this blog post, we aim to shed light on the broad realm of embedded passives and showcase how PICA and their manufacturing partners leverages this transformative technology to empower our customers in...
In the realm of flexible printed circuit assembly (FPCA) and printed circuit board assembly (PCBA), X-ray inspection plays a crucial role in ensuring product quality and meeting stringent requirements. This is particularly vital when incorporating surface mount components such as ball grid array (BGA), land grid array...
The most obvious benefit to a Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) is the ability to bend and flex in order to allow for three dimensional packaging. However, the flexibility of an Flexible Printed Circuit is not always inherent in the design. When looking at a Flex circuit in a 2-D...
So you need a flex circuit but your application demands a black substrate to keep the light out? There was a time when you simply could not get what you wanted. Times have changed. The need for colors other than the typical amber for flex PCBs has grown over...
