LED PCB Assembly

What is the LED Circuit Board assembly?

Generally, LED PCB assembly is considered to be a circuit board that has the LED components soldered to it. The LED is soldered to the printed circuit board and features a chip that creates the light as electrically connected. A thermal heat sink and a ceramic base are used to bond the chip. Not all the PCB products can be used in Led industry, as an LED PCB is easy to create a high volume of heat, but making it hard to cool with traditional methods. For this reason, metal core PCB is widely used in LED application because of their enhanced ability to dissipate heat, especially aluminum pcb is often used to fabricate PCB for LED lights.

We’ve had great LED PCB assembly experiences with top LED chips to brand such as Cree, Luxeon, Osram, Nichia, Lumileds, MLS, EVERLIGHT, Samsung, LG, Seoul., etc. PCB LED lights can be incorporated into numerous lighting applications due to their combination of excellent energy efficiency, low cost and maximum design flexibility.

LED PCB Assembly specification

Number of layers for LED PCB

These layers are made up of aluminum and magnesium, but now have Copper base material  and Ceramic base materials for LED PCB industry, we can meet it.

Aluminum LED PCBs stand out among other PCBs because it has a good insulation characteristic and has a better machinery performance, the cheap cost is one important factor too.

Types of layers for LED PCB Assembly

Normally, the base layer is made using aluminum alloy metal.

This aluminum alloy substrate used in making the base makes it ideal for through-hole technology which transfers and dissipates heat.

A thermal insulation layer is made using some ceramic polymer which has good viscoelasticity characteristics.

It is highly heat resistant and protects the PCB against heat and mechanical stress.

The circuit layer, which is covered by a copper foil which can range from one to ten ounces.

LED Board type- single or in panel

Some boards are shapeless. For this reason, LED PCB panels are used. This reduces time, labor production and testing time.

Some LED PCB Assembly is done on a single board while others are done on panel boards.

LED PCB Assembly Process

Roughly, the PCBA process can be divided into theses phases: soldering paste printing > SMT (surface mounted technology) > reflow soldering > AOI (automated optical inspection)> THT (through-hole technology) > wave soldering > touch-up and cleaning > IC-programming > FCT (functional tests) > aging testing. 

Below we show you the process.

Step1. Summarizing Project Information

Before contacting your supplier, make sure you have all the project information. Suppliers will need info following for quoting LED PCB assembly:

Gerber

BOM

LED PCB specification

Quotation quantity

Once you have gathered these information, you can contact us and request for a quote.

Of course, you can also provide the schematic, LED PCB Assembly pictures and even samples to us. The more details they have, the more accurate the supplier’s quotation will be.

Step2. Discussion and details about custom LED PCB Assembly

Different projects will have different requirements. Remember the special requirements mentioned in step 1? That’s going to be the focus of this session. Equipment and engineering capacity will not be identical between suppliers. Make sure your supplier has the equipment to produce and assemble major components and the corresponding testing capabilities.

For example, some vendors don’t have X-ray testing equipment, which means they can’t check the mount quality of BGA chips. Outsourcing this step will increase risk and cost. That’s what you don’t want.

Also, pay attention to time taken by the supplier to quote. Motherboards often contain hundreds or even thousands of components, and they are supplied by different manufacturers. To ensure the quality of the components, the supplier sourcing team will make multi-inquiries from these manufacturers or authorized suppliers to match customer’s requirement, which usually takes 2-3 business days, and even longer for some scarce chips. Therefore, if your project is complex and the supplier quotes you within few hours, double check with them.

Step3. Sample and feedback

After confirming the PI, the supplier will usually provide pre-production samples for your approval. At the same time, the supplier will also confirm with you the logistics plan of the bulk goods. Make sure they understand your shipping requirements, including details on packaging, customs clearance, taxes, etc.

For us to have a successful LED PCB Assembly process, its functions must be defined. Compliance requirement is defined to reduce the effect when components are selected.

The Bill of Materials is then generated from the information installed on the LED PCB.

All this information is used to assemble components which are identified from MOB to the LED PCB.

How Is Pcb Prototyping Different From Full Spec Production?

In an era that significantly promotes innovations and advancement of technology, we're looking at constant growth in the usage of PCBs. The lesser turnaround time of production has revolutionized the way R & D departments function. We are well aware of this change and hence we optimize our operations likewise, be it production, or delivery.

The quantum of production of PCBs is always fluctuating, on the basis of orders. Based on that, there are two different production standards- Full Spec Standard PCB Production & PCB Prototyping.

Both these processes work at their own pace and are preferred based on the end requirement. In the first stage, a design is created, and prepared on a board layout; then it is tested on a prototype level. The initial testing stages can be helpful in experimenting with the various designs from multiple aspects and then it can be converted into a sophisticated final product that is ready to use.

To conclude; getting rid of the errors and flaws before a prominent expense seems much more beneficial.

Let's circle back to why PCB Prototyping is recommended and why it is often preferred by designers and innovators.

What are the benefits of PCB Prototyping? 

Prototyping has proven to be the best practice before you go ahead for full spec production as it gives more room for experimenting to develop the desired output.

Prototyping helps customers make advancements on existing designs.

When there are no conjectures involved, the timelines are exponentially cut down and there is a turn for the better when it comes to turn-around time.

Prototyping makes it easier for you to determine accuracy and performance and hence, there is a scope for significant improvement at every stage which helps an innovator make the best version of their end product.

Prototyping reduces redundant practices. The process of prototyping aids in multiple aspects like patent drawings, inventor's logbook, etc. which is instrumental in making the patent filing significantly easy.

A prototype is instrumental in helping you create a functioning beta product that can help you acquire funds for large-scale manufacturing.

Any advancement done to the initial design may have defects, flaws, inconsistencies, and challenges. All these can be minimized before a full-fledged production comes into action. With prototyping, comes a scope of making multiple iterations for the best possible results.

Post the prototyping phase comes the full spec production.

Prototyping in the early stages will always help you define your results better and it will also help determine the efficacy.

Designers can then move on to working on the design at scale, providing greater flexibility to refine and optimize the functionality of the product.

But, are there scenarios when you go for a full spec production before the prototype stage?

The answer is yes. There are a few situations and scenarios wherein it is recommended to do so; like:

If there are multiple components involved and the project is composite

If there is the involvement of innovation in design or functionality

If the process of testing process is extensive

If a visual representation of the physical design is required

If your development or innovation process includes any of the above situations, then it is recommended to go for full spec beforehand.

At PCB Power Market, we understand that designers and innovators face multiple situations day in and day out, hence, we adhere to their needs. We offer “No minimum buys” so you can order as per your requirement. We deliver across the USA with a turnaround time so less, there are no inconveniences you face.
