The Importance of PCB Equipment In the PCB industry, PCB sampling has the saying of "three parts technology and seven parts equipment", which well points out the important position of instrument equipment in the competition of the PCB industry. PCB equipment, as an important link in the PCB industry chain, directly affects the product quality of circuit boards. Therefore, in order for China's PCB industry to become stronger and bigger, the most important thing is to develop the instruments and equipment related to the PCB industry. Today, the editor will analyze the importance of PCB instrument equipment for everyone. One of the reasons why Chinese PCBs are not strong enough is that the high-end instruments and equipment in the PCB industry are still lagging behind. The accuracy, performance, and reliability of domestic instruments and equipment still have a gap with foreign ones, which leads to many of our PCB instruments and equipment still relying on imports. Not only are we fas
PCB suppresses interference sources Suppressing interference sources means minimizing their du/dt and di/dt as much as possible. This is the top priority and most important consideration in anti-interference design The principle often achieves twice the result with half the effort. Reducing the du/dt of the interference source is mainly achieved by paralleling capacitors at both ends of the interference source To achieve. Reducing the di/dt of the interference source is achieved by connecting an inductor or resistor in series with the interference source circuit and adding a freewheeling diode. The common measures to suppress interference sources are as follows: (1) Add a freewheeling diode to the relay coil to eliminate the back electromotive force interference generated when the coil is disconnected. Only adding a freewheeling diode will By delaying the disconnection time of the relay and increasing the voltage regulator diode, the relay can operate more times per unit time.
