[0027] It should also be understood that the terminology used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. As used in this specification of embodiments of the present invention and the appended claims, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” are intended to include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.
[0028] As shown in the attached drawings, a PCB board for use in Birch Stream servers is characterized by comprising a PCB board body, wherein the PCB board body comprises a copper foil layer 1, a polytetrafluoroethylene layer 2, a substrate layer 3, a polytetrafluoroethylene layer 4, and a copper foil layer 5 arranged sequentially.
[0029] It also includes a heat sink, and the PCB board body is provided with mounting holes, and the heat sink is installed in the mounting holes.
[0030] In the above solution, by setting up polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) layer one and PTFE layer two, the excellent high-frequency dielectric properties, excellent high and low temperature resistance, and radiation resistance of PTFE are utilized to give the PCB board low dielectric constant, low dielectric loss, high signal fidelity, and excellent high and low temperature resistance and radiation resistance. At the same time, by setting up heat sinks, the heat dissipation capacity of the PCB board can be improved, thus enabling the PCB board to well meet the application requirements of the Birch Stream server.
[0031] In this embodiment, the heat sink is specifically a heat sink 6, and the outer circumferential wall of the heat sink 6 is in close contact with the wall of the mounting hole.
[0032] Specifically, to improve the connection between the heat pipe and the mounting hole, a thermally conductive filler is used to fill the space between the heat pipe 6 and the mounting hole. Further, the thermally conductive filler is thermally conductive silicone grease.
[0033] Furthermore, a plurality of axial heat dissipation fins 7 are provided on the inner wall of the heat dissipation pipe 6, and the plurality of heat dissipation fins 7 are distributed in a ring array along the inner wall of the heat dissipation pipe 6. Even further, to improve the thermal conductivity and stability between the heat dissipation pipe and the heat dissipation fins, the heat dissipation pipe 6 and the heat dissipation fins 7 are integrally formed. The heat generated by the PCB board body is collected and conducted to the heat dissipation pipe and the heat dissipation fins, and carried away by the gas flowing through the heat dissipation pipe. In this design, the heat dissipation fins increase the heat dissipation area of the heat dissipation pipe, improving the heat dissipation capacity of the heat dissipation component, and also improve the bending resistance and strength of the heat dissipation pipe.
[0034] The heat pipe 6 and the heat sink fins 7 are made of a material with high thermal conductivity, specifically copper.
[0035] In another embodiment of this utility model, the substrate layer 3 is made of FR-5 glass fiber epoxy resin copper-clad laminate. Specifically, the FR-5 glass fiber epoxy resin copper-clad laminate is a plate-shaped laminated product made by impregnating special electronic cloth with epoxy phenolic resin and other materials and hot-pressing it under high temperature and high pressure. Utilizing the high glass transition temperature (Tg), resistance to deformation, and good stability of the FR-5 glass fiber epoxy resin copper-clad laminate, the PCB board is less prone to deformation and exhibits good stability when used at high frequencies, further improving its suitability for high-frequency applications. Furthermore, the high glass transition temperature (Tg) and high decomposition temperature (Td) of the FR-5 glass fiber epoxy resin copper-clad laminate enhance the high-temperature resistance of the high-frequency PCB board. Moreover, the rapid heat dissipation of the copper surface of the FR-5 glass fiber epoxy resin copper-clad laminate improves the heat dissipation performance of the PCB board.
