20160338203 | DRILLING METHOD FOR PCBS WITH HIGH HOLE POSITION PRECISION - Disclosed is a drilling method for PCBs with high hole position precision, comprising: step 1 of fixing a PCB on a workbench; step 2 of pre-drilling a to-be-drilled portion of the PCB by using a short-blade drilling tool; and step 3 of deeply drilling the to-be-drilled portion which has been machined in step 2 by using along-blade drilling tool. The PCB is fixed in step 1 to prevent the PCB from moving during drilling which otherwise would affect the drilling precision; the to-be-drilled portion of the PCB is pre-drilled by using a short-blade drilling tool in step 2, and the short-blade drilling tool has a higher rigidity than along-blade drilling tool and thus will not easily slide at the moment of contacting the surface of the PCB; and the to-be-drilled portion which has been machined in step 2 is deep drilled by using the long-blade drilling tool in step 3, and the long-blade drilling tool has reduced sliding upon entry, thus guaranteeing the entry alignment of the long-blade drilling tool in the case of deep drilling, so that the drilled hole meets the requirement of high hole position precision for PCBs. | 2016-11-17 |
20160338204 | Methods of Laser Trace Post Processing and Depaneling of Assembled Printed Circuit - A method for processing a PCBa panel to individualize the PCBa's on the PCBa panel and depanel the PCBa panel in substantially one step is described. The PCBa panel initially comprises a number of PCBa's having components and traces common to a number of different product SKUs. During processing, the PCBa panel is loaded into a machine containing a first and second laser. The first laser severs extra traces on each PCBa to individualize the PCBa's for specific SKUs and the second laser cuts the links between each PCBa, thereby depaneling the PCBa panel. | 2016-11-17 |
20160338205 | DRY FILM SOLDER MASK COMPOSITE LAMINATE MATERIALS - In an example, a process for bonding a dry film solder mask (DFSM) material to a printed circuit board (PCB) laminate material is disclosed. The process includes applying a DFSM material that includes a dienophile functional group to a PCB laminate material that includes a diene functional group. The process further includes bonding the DFSM material to the PCB laminate material via a chemical reaction of the dienophile functional group with the diene functional group. | 2016-11-17 |
