PCB Technical - The threshold of automotive electronics PCBA processing

In today's social development trend, the basic construction of ecological civilization and the management methods of ecological environmental protection have become more and more urgent. Since the ecological environment is immediately linked to people's social reproduction, it is a life project for future generations. In response to environmental protection measures, autonomous driving and new energy vehicles have gradually become popular. Well-known domestic and foreign companies in this area include Tesla, BYD, and Weilai Automobile, which directly drive the growth of customer orders for automotive electronics PCBA processing manufacturers. In addition, because of the high requirements on the reliability of automotive electronic PCB processing, the automotive electronic PCB processing threshold is relatively high, and the profitable indoor space is also very considerable. About the development prospects of automotive electronics PCBA production and processing.

(1) Autonomous driving and new energy vehicles have greatly increased the use of automotive printed circuit boards

With the gradual transition from traditional vehicles to autonomous vehicles and the promotion of new energy vehicles supported by policies, in order to adapt to the application of new technologies, the demand for automotive PCB electronic control boards continues to increase, and the use of automotive PCB circuit boards is becoming more and more widespread. . It is estimated that in the future, with the improvement and popularization of technology, the level of automotive intelligent system will be further improved.

(2) Millimeter wave radar has created a great demand for high-frequency PCB circuit boards

At this stage, millimeter-wave radar is in the fast development trend, and the average value of bicycles using millimeter-wave radar is expected to increase again in the future. In addition, radar high-frequency circuits have higher requirements for PCB circuit board plates and manufacturing processes. Therefore, the automotive radar PCB board will produce higher added value for the PCBA processing and manufacturing industry.

(3) New energy vehicle power battery BMS technology upgrade potential is great

The battery management system (BATTERYMANAGEMENTSYSTEM), the battery management system (BMS) is the link between the battery and the user. The main object is the secondary battery, mainly to improve the utilization of the battery and prevent the battery from overcharging and overdischarging. As one of the hardware foundations of BMS, PCB circuit board components will certainly benefit from its industry development. At present, the use area of luxury car PCB is about 2-3 square meters. Assuming that the use area of new energy car PCB is 2 square meters, 2,000 yuan per square meter, the global market size of new energy car PCB will be 16.4 billion yuan in 2020 .

(4) High barriers to entry for automotive printed circuit board processing

Leading PCBA processing manufacturers have huge first-mover advantages. Due to the special working environment and high current demand characteristics of automobiles, their requirements for the reliability and environmental adaptability of PCB circuit boards are very strict, which indirectly leads to high thresholds for PCBA processing. . According to people in the automotive industry, zero defect rate is the basic demand of international manufacturers for PCBA suppliers, and it also determines whether they can enter the field of automotive PCB processing. Due to the high barriers to entry for automotive PCBs, car manufacturers generally do not randomly replace certified suppliers in cooperation. Therefore, once PCBA processing manufacturers can successfully enter the supply chain of major international factories, they will not only bring long-term stable orders to the company, but also bring relatively ample room for growth for the company's operations due to the high threshold of the industry. Therefore, the first-mover advantage of leading companies is very obvious.
