How to Prevent PCB Board Bending and Warping from Passing Through the Reflow Oven
Everyone knows PCB, but do you know all about its wiring? PCB wiring can be described as a basic course for every electronic engineer, however, people generally only pay attention to wiring and ignore the wiring arrangement between the various components in the PCB. There are six points for you to learn.
1. Cross circuits are not allowed in a printed circuit board. For the lines that may cross, you can use two methods including drilling and winding to solve the problem. That is, let a lead drill through the gap under other resistors, capacitors, and triode pins or wind from one end of a lead that may cross. In special circumstances, it is also necessary to simplify the design due to complex circuit, so it is allowed to connect with wires to solve the problem of cross circuit.
2. Components such as resistors, diodes, and tubular capacitors can be installed in vertical and horizontal installation methods. The vertical type refers to the installation and welding of the component body perpendicular to the circuit board like metal PCB board, which has the advantage of saving space. The horizontal type refers to the installation and welding of the component body in parallel and close to the circuit board, and its advantage is that the mechanical strength of the component installation is better. For these two different mounting components, the component hole pitch on the printed circuit board is different.
3. The grounding point of the circuit of the same level should be as close as possible, and the power supply and filter capacitor of the circuit of this level should also be connected to the grounding point of this level. In particular, the grounding points of the base and emitter of the transistor of this level should not be too far apart, otherwise the copper foil between the two grounding points will be too long, which will cause interference and self-excitation. Using such a one-point grounding method circuit will work better because it is table and not easily self-excited.
4. The main ground wire must be arranged in strict accordance with the principle of high frequency-intermediate frequency-low frequency in the order of weak current to strong current. It must not be randomly connected. The connection between the levels is rather long, and this regulation must be observed. In particular, the grounding wire arrangement requirements of the frequency conversion head, regeneration head, and frequency modulation head are more stringent. If improperly, it will self-excite and make it unable to work. High-frequency circuits such as FM heads often use large-area surrounding ground wires to ensure a good shielding effect.
5. Strong current leads like common ground, power amplifier power leads and so on should be as wide as possible to reduce wiring resistance and voltage drop, and reduce self-excitation caused by parasitic coupling.
6. The traces with high impedance should be as short as possible, and the traces with low impedance can be longer, because the traces with high impedance are easy to transmit and absorb signals and cause the circuit to be unstable. The power cord, ground wire, base trace without feedback components, emitter lead are all low impedance traces. The base trace of the emitter follower and the ground wire of the two channels of the radio must be separated, each forming one path. Until the end of the function is combined again, if two ground wires are connected back and forth, it is easy to produce crosstalk and reduce the degree of separation. The above is a summary of some experience in the wiring arrangement between the various components in the PCB, which will help people learn more about the PCB.
