Diverse Printed Circuit Board Designs for Automotive Applications

The use of printed circuit boards in the automotive industry has changed the way automobiles are constructed as well as driven. Automotive printed circuit boards are designed to be extremely reliable, and to withstand harsh environmental elements. Build a PCB designs custom printed circuit boards to meet the requirements of various transportation vehicles. 

Designing and Manufacturing Automotive PCBs

At Build a PCB, we have the capability to produce small PCBs to support small systems like stereos, as well as large sized boards for engine components. We can design printed circuit boards with different materials and composites. These can include copper, aluminum substrates, as well as high temperature laminates. We can assemble them using with Through Hole (PTH) or Surface Mount Technology (SMT).

Prototyping – A Boon for Automobile Circuit Boards

As each vehicle will require a different type of PCB, we create custom PCBs to meet the requirement. Since vehicle manufacturers create their cars and trucks in bulk, we need to ensure that the PCB will function and perform as planned. For this reason, we offer our prototyping services to our customers.

Creating a prototype of the PCB allows us to ensure that the design is without any error prior to manufacturing. We can experiment with PCB types, including flex and rigid flex. We can design the PCB to fit small areas within the automobile. These advantages support us in meeting bulk PCB orders on time.

Applications

Our design and prototyping services give us the freedom to work with a variety of automotive companies. We have created standard and custom printed circuit boards for various applications, including:

• Load cells
• Power relays
• Digital displays
• Antilock brake systems
• Electronic mirror controls
• Power steering capabilities
• Stereo and audio components
• Temperature and transmission sensors
• Headlights and interior LED lighting systems

Build a PCB is your ideal partner in the design and manufacturing of automotive PCB. We have the capabilities to design a PCB from scratch, or upgrade an existing circuit board to meet current requirements. Contact us if you would like to know more about our designs.
