PCB Stiffening - Linked to TDE member firms

PCB stiffeners are used to prevent printed circuit boards from warping and bowing - PCBs are typically very thin and made of layers of glass fabrics or fibers that are bonded together by resins. The thinness of a PCB provides an advantage in that the PCB does not consume much space. But, one drawback is that, due to its thinness, the PCB is rather flimsy and not structurally stable. The thinness of the PCB can make the board and its connected circuit components vulnerable to shock and vibration. Such shock and vibration can lead to damage or breakage of the board's copper solder traces in service or during the mating of the PCB assembly (PCBA) with other PCBAs, other parts of the final assembly, or during the end-use of the product. Furthermore, conventional wave and reflow soldering used during the PCBA manufacturing process provides a source of heat that can soften or warp the PCB, which can cause the soldering to be uneven ~ George Pachter, TDE
