Description

PCB board with electrostatic protection function

Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of static electricity protection, and particularly relates to a PCB with a static electricity protection function.

Background

PCB (Printed Circuit Board), the Chinese name is printed circuit board, which is the support of electronic components and is the carrier for the electrical connection of electronic components. It is called a "printed" circuit board because it is made using electronic printing. After the electronic equipment adopts the printed board, due to the consistency of the similar printed boards, the error of manual wiring is avoided, the automatic insertion or mounting, automatic soldering and automatic detection of electronic components can be realized, the quality of the electronic equipment is ensured, the labor productivity is improved, the cost is reduced, and the maintenance is convenient.

The technical problems existing in the research and development process of the PCB are eliminated, and once the PCB has faults in the use process, the PCB is mostly related to static electricity; static electricity is ubiquitous and for some tiny electronic components, the entire production line will face breakdown as long as it breaks down. The static electricity has the following adverse effects on electronic components: 1. dust is adsorbed by static electricity, so that the insulation resistance of components is reduced, and the service life of the components is shortened; 2. the static discharge or the current generates heat, which is the potential damage to the components; 3. the electromagnetic field generated by the electrostatic discharge has large amplitude and extremely wide frequency spectrum, and causes interference and even damage to electronic devices; 4. the electrostatic discharge damage causes the damage of the components and the failure of normal operation; it follows that the damage caused by static electricity is not estimated.

At present, signals sent out from an external interface (connector) of a PCB product are connected with an electrostatic discharge (Electro-STATIC DISCHARGE, ESD) protection device, and the ESD protection device is used for carrying out electrostatic protection on the PCB; however, even if the ESD device is adopted, a good electrostatic protection effect cannot be achieved, the above PCB board with the ESD device is tested by using the electrostatic tester, and experimental results show that when 15KV static is applied to the PCB board, the internal circuit of the PCB board is broken down, which indicates that the existing PCB board with the ESD device has poor electrostatic protection effect, and the electrostatic protection performance of the PCB board needs to be further improved, so that the use safety of the PCB board is improved.
