Introduction to the structure, characteristics and precautions of Printed Circuit Board materials

The PCB substrate is composed of layers of Copper Clad Laminate (CCL) and Prepreg (PP). CCL consists of three main components: Copper Foil, Reinforcement, and Resin Matrix. Since the start of lead-free manufacturing processes, the fourth item of Fillers has … Continue reading
