이것은 a입니다standard rigid double-sided PCB. It combines traditional copper traces with acarbon oil surface finish that forms conductive carbon film pads at designated locations. The result is a board that offers both the excellent conductivity of copper traces and the superior wear resistance of carbon film contacts. This makes it an ideal choice for keypad applications across consumer electronics, 자동차 전자, 의료기기.
What Is a Double-Sided Carbon Oil Circuit Board?
에이 double-sided carbon oil circuit board is a printed circuit board that uses carbon-based conductive ink (commonly referred to as carbon oil or carbon ink) applied through screen printing onto designated areas of the PCB 기판. After curing, this forms a carbon film conductive pattern.
Carbon oil is a 전도성 잉크 composed primarily of conductive carbon powder, thermosetting resin, and various additives. It is precisely printed onto specific locations on the 회로 기판 – typically keypad contact areas – using screen printing technology. After high-temperature curing, the carbon oil forms a carbon film with a defined resistance value.
Compared to traditionalgold-plated keypads, carbon oil keypads offer a clear advantage.Carbon oil keypads are highly wear-resistant and can withstand repeated operations, generally lasting for hundreds of thousands or even millions of switching cycles. Replacing expensive gold keypads with carbon oil keypads has become a major industry trend.
Carbon oil boards are a common surface treatment method for single-sided and double-sided PCBs. Through a series of processes including inspection, 테스트, 그리고 화상 테스트, these PCB achieve reliable long-term operation.
설계 지침
Designing adouble-sided carbon oil circuit board requires attention to the following key technical aspects:
Carbon Oil Trace Width and Spacing
According to industry PCB carbon oil manufacturing specifications, carbon oil trace width must be greater than 6mil (approximately 0.152mm). Carbon oil films are identified as “GTC” (최상층) 또는 “GBC” (바닥층) and are output as positive films.
Due to the excellent conductivity of carbon oil, adequate spacing must be maintained between carbon oil features on the finished board to prevent short circuits. Typical minimum clearances are:
The minimum alignment tolerance for carbon oil is±6mil.
Carbon Oil Window and Copper Pattern Spacing
To account for alignment tolerances and prevent oil leakage that could expose copper, the carbon oil pad must be larger than the copper pad by:
The same clearance must be maintained between the carbon oil window and surrounding copper patterns to prevent carbon oil from covering adjacent copper traces and causing short circuits.
Carbon Oil Thickness Control
Carbon oil thickness directly affects sheet resistance and wear resistance. Industry standard specifications are as follows:
- Single-print carbon oil thickness: 0.3–1.0mil, tolerance ±0.3mil
- Double-print carbon oil thickness: 1.0–2.0mil, tolerance ±0.4mil
For carbon oil thickness exceeding 1.0mil, a double-print process is required. The carbon oil film for the second print must be 3mil smaller on each side than the first-print film.
Design Standard References
디자인할 때double-sided carbon oil circuit board, the following international standards should be followed:
- IPC-2221: Generic Standard on Printed Board Design – covers spacing, 정리, and structural design requirements

- IPC-TM-650: Test Methods Manual – provides standardized test procedures for carbon oil PCB performance
작동 원리
그만큼double-sided carbon oil circuit board operates on two fundamental levels:
Conduction Principle
The conductivity of carbon oil is determined by its formulation, which consists of conductive carbon powder, thermosetting resin, and various additives. Conductivity is measured bysheet resistance (단위: Ω/□).
옴의 법칙에 따르면:
R = ρ × L / 에스
Where R is resistance, ρ is resistivity, L is conductor length, and S is conductor cross-sectional area. For the carbon film conductive layer, sheet resistance is inversely proportional to film thickness: Rs = ρ / 티 (where t is carbon film thickness).
Carbon oil boards generally achieve sheet resistance of ≤20Ω/□, offering excellent cost-performance. Some low-resistance carbon oil formulations also incorporate a small amount of silver oil to further enhance conductivity.
Keypad Switching Principle
In keypad applications, 그만큼double-sided carbon oil circuit board works as follows: when a rubber keypad (or other elastic element) is pressed, the conductive carbon particles on the bottom of the keypad contact thecarbon oil pad PCB에서, completing the circuit. The carbon oil pad serves as the keypad’scontact conductor, replacing traditional gold-plated contacts.
The advantages of carbon oil contacts include:
- High surface hardness andexcellent wear resistance
- Low contact resistance andfast response time
- Chemical inertness, 헌금corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance
