Each rigid and flexible printed circuit board (PCB) design is different and can be customized based on the purpose of the board. The same is true for the PCB substrate – fiberglass is a commonly used substrate, but aluminum-based PCBs are also very effective in many industrial applications. Aluminum-based PCBs consist of a metal-based, copper-clad laminate that provides high...

These PCBs create a more challenging design for rigid-flex manufacturers, but we’ve been able to supply successful designs with full compliance and reliability. By engineering these in a 3D environment, we’re able to achieve spatial efficiency and incorporate folds and flexes to help you meet the desired shape that works best with your application. A rigid-flex printed...

HDI PCBs have a higher density per unit circuit than traditional PCBs. They use a combination of buried and blind vias and microvias (0.006 inches in diameter or less). A high-density board is a PCB that has one or more of the following features: Through and buried vias Through surface-to-surface vias At least two layers with...

Modern PCB combines various digital and hybrid signal technology, so layout and design become more challenging, especially when RF and microwave mixed are used for subcutors. When viewing RF PCB, you need to consider some matters, whether you cooperate with us or other RF printing circuit board suppliers or design yourself. First of all, the RF...

HDI board manufacturing is the fastest growing field in the printed circuit board industry. From the first 32-bit computer launched by HP in 1985 to today’s large-scale customer servers using 36 sequentially laminated multi-layer printed circuit boards and stacked micro-vias, HDI/micro-via technology is undoubtedly the future PCB architecture. Large ASICs and FPGAs with smaller device pitches,...

Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are the foundation of most electronic devices. The PCB production process can be categorized into subtractive methods and additive methods. Currently, the most commonly used industrial method is the copper foil etching process, a subtractive method. 1. PCB Substrate Processing The PCB substrate is typically classified based on its insulating material. Popular raw materials include bakelite, fiberglass boards, and various plastic...

HDI boards, or High Density Interconnect boards, represent a significant advancement in PCB manufacturing, particularly suited for high-density circuit applications. These boards utilize micro-blind buried via technology to achieve compact designs with high line distribution density. Key characteristics include: Manufacturing Process: HDI boards typically employ micro-blind buried via technology, necessitating non-mechanical drilling methods such as laser...

RF circuit board design is a critical and often complex area of PCB engineering. While there are many uncertainties in theory, practical design rules can be followed to optimize performance. The following key points will focus on RF circuit board partitioning and design strategies. 1. Microvias in RF Design Microvias are essential for connecting different layers on...
