Where are printed circuit boards used? IV

PCBs are used in many different sectors. Today we are talking about some applications in automotive components. In earlier times, PCBs were only used for things like windshield wipers and headlight switches, but today they enable many advanced features that make driving safer and easier.

Depending on what part of the car a PCB is used for, it may need to be able to withstand extreme temperatures or vibrations. It’s also critical that they perform reliably if involved in a safety feature of the car. Because of these challenges, manufacturers may use high TG materials and will require IATF16949 certification. They also use flex-rigid PCBs because of their ability to withstand vibrations.
