PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is one of the important components of the electronics industry. It plays a role in supporting components and chips within the complete machine, providing interlayer interconnection and conduction, preventing solder bridges and aiding in maintenance identification. PCB specialty chemicals refer to fine chemical materials specifically designed for the PCB manufacturing industry.
Pulse plating refers to PCB electroplating that uses a pulse power supply instead of a direct current power supply. Pulse plating utilizes instantaneous reverse high current to polarize the high potential areas of the PCB, slowing down the copper deposition rate, while the copper deposition rate in the low potential areas is relatively accelerated. This significantly improves the through-hole deep plating capability and the uniformity of the copper plating thickness. Due to the enhanced deep plating capability, it can be applied to high current density production to effectively improve electroplating efficiency.
