This is done to withstand extreme environmental conditions and unusual circumstances in the aerospace industry. In this post, we will discuss various aerospace applications that use the PCB, and the importance of sourcing them from a reliable supplier.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/79.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1224 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/79.png\" alt=\"PCB in Aerospace Industry\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/79.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/79-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/79-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/79-1024x341.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/05\/79-1140x380.png 1140w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Why Does Aerospace Industry Require High-Grade PCB Assembly?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">Electronic products used in the Aerospace industry are exposed to varied temperature ranges. To overcome the challenge, the industry needs PCBs manufactured using high-temperature laminates, copper and aluminum substrates and anodized aluminum. In addition to this, electronics used in the industry are prone to excessive shock and vibration. Therefore, while fabricating PCBs for the industry, manufacturers incorporate certain techniques. For example, they use pins to hold components in place than usual soldering and leave a small space between components and the surface of the board. Similarly, manufacturers place shielding in strategic places on the PCBs to make sure that radio communications get through properly. All these techniques, among several others, make PCBs ready for applications specific to the Aerospace industry.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>What are the Various PCB-driven Applications in the Aerospace Industry?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">A few of the devices that use high-grade PCB assembly are:<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">\n<ul>\n<li>Power switches<\/li>\n<li>Radio communication systems<\/li>\n<li>LED lighting systems<\/li>\n<li>Instrumentation<\/li>\n<li>Signal sensors<\/li>\n<li>In-flight power supplies<\/li>\n<li>Power grids<\/li>\n<li>Temperature sensors<\/li>\n<li>Control tower systems<\/li>\n<li>Advanced Short Range Air-to-air Missiles<\/li>\n<li>Control tower systems<\/li>\n<li>Radar installations<\/li>\n<li>Power converters<\/li>\n<li>LED lighting systems<\/li>\n<li>Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missiles (AMRAAM)<\/li>\n<li>Auxiliary Power Units (APU)<\/li>\n<li>Advanced Short Range Air to Air Missiles (ASRAAM)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<p align=\"justify\"><strong>Why Should You Source Your PCBs from Only a Trusted Manufacturer?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\">As discussed, the aerospace industry demands PCBs that can withstand environment extremes. Hence, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/industry-served\/aerospace\">aerospace PCBs<\/a> must be designed and manufactured to the highest quality standards incorporating specialised features as required. To meet such high expectations and produce high-grade PCBs, it is important to partner with the leading manufacturer who is experienced in using the right materials, best machinery, and advanced manufacturing technique. Ensure that you are partnering with a manufacturer who assembles PCBs in compliance with international standards specific to aerospace specifications. Your association with a prominent manufacturer brings you PCBs with high reliability and optimum performance for years. RigiFlex is a trusted name in the market that provides advanced circuit boards that have proven effective for use in the aerospace industry.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><a href=\" https:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/pcb-quote\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-781 size-full\" src=\" https:\/\/www.rigiflex.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/PCB-Online-Quote.png\" alt=\"PCB Online Quote\" width=\"247\" height=\"50\" \/> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The demand for high-grade PCBs is on the rise for various applications in the aerospace industry.
