HDI PCB - Drone PCB

What is drone PCB?

The application fields of drones have now expanded to include aerial photography, electricity, rescue, entertainment news, and even agriculture, among others. In fact, the design concept of drones originated from the military industry.

The main function of the drone PCB is to control the drone's flight. In the field of drones, PCB Printed Circuit Board is the core component of drones, and the performance of drone PCB directly affects the flight stability, signal transmission efficiency, and overall reliability of drones.

A complete unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) aerial survey system includes: UAV, camera, data transmission radio, autopilot, ground station control software, ground station, route planning software, combat equipment, etc And ultimately, drones can only operate through a combination of software and hardware. Software is what we call a programming and control system software platform, while hardware is designed through principles, drone PCB design, and then assembled into a finished product through drone PCB with the required electronic components and integrated circuits. Of course, drone PCB is an essential part of any electronic product.

The performance of drone PCB mainly includes electrical performance, mechanical performance, thermal performance, and reliability. Electrical performance mainly includes conductivity, insulation, and signal transmission efficiency. The mechanical performance focuses on the strength, flexibility, and impact resistance of the drone PCB. Thermal performance involves the heat resistance and heat dissipation of drone PCB. And reliability refers to the stable working ability of drone PCB in long-term and complex environments.

Composition of drone PCB

Conductive material: The conductive material in the drone PCB, mainly copper foil, directly affects the electrical performance of the drone PCB due to its conductivity. High quality copper foil has excellent conductivity and weldability, ensuring the stability and reliability of drone circuit board during high-speed signal transmission and soldering processes.

Substrate material: The substrate material determines the mechanical and thermal properties of the drone PCB. For example, FR-4 epoxy resin substrate has good mechanical strength and heat resistance, making it suitable for most drone PCB. Aluminum based materials have better heat dissipation performance and are suitable for high-performance, high-power drone circuit board.

Solder mask ink: Solder mask ink is used to protect non soldering areas on drone PCB, preventing contamination and damage during the soldering process. High quality solder mask ink has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, which can ensure the stability and reliability of drone PCB in complex environments.

High quality materials and meticulous craftsmanship can ensure that drone PCB have excellent electrical, mechanical, thermal, and reliability properties. In the design and production process of drone circuit board, multiple factors such as materials, processes, and performance need to be comprehensively considered to achieve optimal performance and cost-effectiveness.

With the research of various electronic product engineers on drones and the disassembly of drone circuit board. drone PCB, which serve as the support for drone systems, have also attracted the attention of major drone manufacturers. Regardless of the field in which drones are used, the requirements for drone PCB are high.
