Multilayer PCBs: Overview, Manufacturing, and Design Considerations

Multilayer Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) or Multilayer Boards (MLBs) feature more than two copper layers, interconnected using copper-plated holes. These holes may include NC vias, laser microvias, through-holes, buried, or blind vias. The layers consist of copper foil, prepreg (PP), or adhesive materials and are pressed together under high temperature and pressure. This process removes air...

HDI Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

What’s HDI PCB? High-density interconnect (HDI) PCBs are characterized by finer lines, closer spaces, and more dense wiring, which allow for a faster connection while reducing the size and bulk of a project. These boards also feature blind and buried vias, laser ablated microvias, sequential lamination, and via in-pads. As a result, a HDI board can house the functionality of the previous...

What is a Rigid-Flex PCB?

Rigid-Flex boards are a combination of rigid boards and flexible circuits that are permanently laminated together and interconnected through through-holes. Rigid-Flex boards are also written as Flex-Rigid. Rigid-Flex boards straddle the boundaries of traditional rigid boards and the unique properties of flexible circuits, using highly ductile ED or RA copper photolithography onto a flexible insulating film....

What Are Flexible Printed Circuits (Flex PCB)?

Flexible Printed Circuits (FPCs), also called Flexible Circuits, or Flex Circuits, by IPC definition, a flexible printed circuit is a patterned arrangement of printed circuitry and components that utilizes flexible based material with or without flexible cover lay. This definition is accurate, and conveys some of the potential given the available variations in base materials, conductor materials, and protective cover materials....

Aluminium | Aluminum Printed Circuit Board (PCB)

Aluminum PCB, or Aluminium PCB, also called Alu PCB, is one of Insulated Metal Substrate (IMS) PCBs, and is also one of the most commonly used Metal Core PCBs nowadays.At KKPCB, we specialize in designing and manufacturing metal-core printed circuit boards (PCBs) for various applications. These applications include LEDs (light-emitting diodes), backlit LCD displays for desktops and laptops, street...

PCB Prototyping Services

Printed circuit board (PCB) Prototyping allows engineers to check whether the design will perform as their expectations. At the same time, your PCB prototyping manufacturer would like to check if your circuit boards can be manufactured efficiently. Multiple prototyping runs can be used to test the PCB design variations or to perfect a single function before moving on to the...

Common Flex PCB Surface Finishes

Copper in Printed Circuit Boards Printed circuit boards (PCBs), or called printed wiring boards (PWBs), have become basic parts in almost all areas of modern technologies. Copper trace is a crucial element on circuit boards. The copper always plays a role of carrying electrical signals to different components across the board assembly. Without traces, the...

Multilayer PCB Benefits and Applications

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are the core of most electronics today, determining basic functions through combinations of components and wiring mechanisms. Most PCBs of the past were relatively simple and limited by manufacturing techniques, while today’s PCBs are much more complex. From advanced flexible options to odd-shaped varieties, PCBs are much more varied in nowadays’ world...

What is Stack-up?

Stack-up refers to the arrangement of copper layers and insulating layers that make up a PCB prior to board layout design. While a layer stack-up allows you to get more circuitry on a single board through the various PCB board layers, the structure of PCB stackup design confers many other advantages: • A PCB layer stack...

Blind Via and Buried Via

What is a Via? Vias are the copper-plated holes in the PCB that allows the layers to connect. The standard via is called a through-hole via, but there are several disadvantages to using through-hole vias in Surface Mount Technology (SMT). For this reason, we often use a blind via or buried via instead. A blind...
