Louis,

Bonjours, ca vas?

In all of the cases I have seen black material/solder masks have been for
flight/space hardware. In all instances, it is used for ease of sight.


Hope this helps,

Au revoire!

Hello everyone,

 

I've been ask by a client to explain why someone would use black material
for the PCB's instead of standard clear color.

They're main application are for aircraft either military or civilian.

 

I thought that in some application, historically, black material was used in
military or aerospace.

Apart black solder mask that, I've been told, could help heat dissipation,
does the black color for the PCB's material have the same impact or is it
for other reason?

 

What advantage do I have to use a black base material for PCB instead of
clear ones? 

 

Thanks,
