Have seen the PCB (printed circuit board) of radio or computer, are there any interconnected electronic components? No? Then, this is a circuit board containing pads and wires, which can be electrically connected together at different points, or more precisely, connect components and connectors to each other. Circuit boards allow signals and power to be easily imported through physical devices. With the help of solder, the components on the PCB surface are electrically interconnected.
Solder is a kind of metal, which is suitable to be used as a strong adhesive on components. You can find PCB in precision radar, pager, buzzer and even computer software. Because of their different uses, PCBs have different designs, shapes and sizes. For example, printed circuit boards for airplanes have more complex designs, which have been invented to meet the ever-increasing airplane functions. It is not easy to design PCB for aviation.
Aviation printed circuit board
For beginners, their pcb design must be more powerful, which requires the implementation of specific layout and design techniques. Making circuit boards for airplanes is a difficult and time-consuming task. Pay special attention to the thermal management of PCB, and consider the special design and layout technology of high-frequency RF components. Therefore, in order to manufacture printed circuit boards for aerospace equipment, the basic design and layout must be considered to make them more superior.
This means that the designer must define the correct circuit board material, specify the accurate drilling chart, keep neat assembly precautions, reserve stacking suggestions for layout, add extra cushion for mechanical dimensions and holes, use the correct termination method and perform pre-layout simulation. Aircraft circuit board designers must also verify the impedance calculation, shield the signal, separate the ground plane from the power supply, and then maintain the correct aspect ratio.
Reasons for special PCB design and layout
Other requirements to be considered by circuit board designers include that the PCB design should have extra current buffer pads, and the correct milling cutter specification components should also be used. This is indeed a demanding process. MIL-SPEC components are mainly used in aviation PCB design, because their tolerance is very small. For recording, an additional current buffer is used to boost the current in the circuit.
Due to the sensitive characteristics of components found in airplanes, printed circuit board applications are made with circuits that properly handle three amps. Why? Aircraft circuit boards only need a maximum load of two amps. Therefore, the three-amp circuit can handle important applications in the PCB of aircraft. In case of abnormal or excessive peak value, the extra margin can easily handle everything. All these designs and layouts play a key role in making PCB in aviation industry more robust and efficient.
