Electric vehicles (EVs) and hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) are gaining in popularity. Printed-circuit-board (PCB) materials are essential components for these vehicles; reliable circuits are needed to keep EVs and HEVs on the road. Raw circuit materials are key components in any EV or HEV, whether…
Why Material Selection Matters: Ensuring Quality, Performance, and Reliability in Manufacturing
When it comes to manufacturing high-quality products, material selection is one of the most important decisions you can make. While it may seem like a minor detail, the choice of materials significantly impacts a product’s lifespan, durability, and functionality. Not all materials are created equal,…
How Do Material Qualities Differ for HSD Versus mmWave Circuits?
Growing use of millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies for applications such as automotive radars, Fifth Generation (5G) wireless networks, and satellite communications (satcom) mandates careful selection of printed-circuit-board (PCB) materials specially formulated to transmit signals at frequencies to 70 GHz and higher. At the same time, digital…
