San Francisco Circuits PCB School

The purpose of the PCB school is to help educate engineers, technicians and buyers on printed circuit boards.

Our team of experts in the PCB industries have been proudly educating other printed circuit professionals since 2005. With this section, we hope to provide the opportunity to gain a comprehensive grasp of concepts in a shorter period of time, to remain up to date in the field, and/or to acquire the technical knowledge to begin or advance their skills.

We offer access to knowledge to everyone who needs them and wants to learn the technologies available in PCB design, PCB fabrication and PCB assembly.

High Heat Circuits - PCB Design for High-Temperature Applications


As is well known, designers are squeezing ever more performance out of printed circuit boards. Power densities are on the rise, and with them, high temperatures that can wreak havoc on conductors and dielectrics. Elevated temperatures - whether from I2R losses or environmental factors - affect thermal and electrical impedances, causing erratic system performance, if not outright failure.  Differences in thermal expansion rates – a measure of the tendency of a material to expand when heated and shrink when cooled – between conductors and dielectrics generate mechanical stresses that cause cracking and connection failures, especially if the boards are subject to cyclic heating and cooling. If the temperature is high enough, the dielectric can lose its structural integrity altogether, knocking over the first domino in a cascade of trouble.

Of course, heat-generation has always been a factor in PCB performance, and designers are accustomed to including heat sinks into their PCBs, but the demands of today’s high power-density designs frequently overwhelm traditional PCB heat-management practices.

Mitigating the effects of high temperatures have far-reaching implications, not just for the performance and reliability of PCBs, but also for such factors as:

  • Component (or system) weight
  • Application size
  • Cost
  • Power requirements

PCB Assembly


Circuit Board Assembly

PCB Assembly is a process that requires knowledge not just of PCB components and assembly but also of printed circuit board design, PCB fabrication and a strong understanding of the final product. Circuit board assembly is just one piece of the puzzle to delivering the perfect product the first time.

San Francisco Circuits is a one-stop solution for all circuit board services so we are often entrenched with the PCB production process from design to assembly. Through our strong network of well-proven circuit assembly and manufacturing partners, we can provide the most advanced and nearly limitless capabilities for your prototype or production PCB application. Save yourself the trouble that comes with the procurement process and dealing with multiple components vendors. Our experts will find you the best parts for your final product.

 

We offer the following PCB assembly services:

-          Quick-turn prototype assembly

-          Turn-key assembly

-          Partial turn-key assembly

-          Consignment assembly

-          RoHS compliant lead-free assembly

-          Non-RoHS assembly

-          Conformal coating

-          Final box-build and packaging
