What is the difference between a microvia and a regular via? Microvias are smaller vias, typically with a diameter less than 150 microns, used in high-density designs. They’re ideal for HDI PCBs, where space is limited and precision is critical.
What is a microvia? What is meant by a buried via hole? A buried via is located entirely within the inner layers of a PCB, with no exposure to the outer layers. It is used to connect two or more inner layers without affecting the outer surface.
What is meant by a blind via hole? A blind via connects the outer layer of a PCB to one or more inner layers but does not go all the way through the board. It’s used when you need to save space and reduce signal interference.
Can I mix different materials in one PCB? Yes. Hybrid PCBs use different materials to balance cost and performance—for example, combining standard FR4 with high-frequency cores in one stack-up.
Do I have to use an FR4 material with a high Tg (Tg = glass transition temperature) for lead-free soldering? How many reflow cycles can FR4 materials withstand? Which PCB surface is best for lead-free soldering? What should I consider when designing a multilayer PCB? Key factors include layer stack-up, impedance control, heat dissipation, and ensuring the manufacturer can meet your specifications.
What is a multilayer PCB? What are the advantages of using a multilayer PCB? How are multilayer PCBs manufactured? How does a multilayer PCB differ from a single-layer PCB? What materials are used in the construction of a multilayer PCB? Are HDI PCBs more expensive than standard PCBs? Yes, HDI PCBs usually cost more due to complex manufacturing processes, but the benefits in performance and size often justify the higher price.
What is a HDI PCB? How does HDI PCBs keep my cost down? What is the laser drill accuracy? Why should I turn to HDI PCBs? How do I select materials for HDI? Why do I need a high-frequency PCB for my product? If your product needs to transmit signals fast and clearly—like in 5G, radar, or wireless devices—a high-frequency PCB helps maintain signal integrity, reduce signal loss, and ensure minimal interference.
What is a High Frequency PCB? A High-Frequency PCB is specifically designed for applications operating at RF and microwave frequencies, typically ranging from 3 MHz to 100 GHz. These boards are engineered to support high-speed signal transmission while minimizing losses.
What makes High Frequency PCBs different from regular PCBs? High-frequency PCBs are designed to handle RF signals, which require precise impedance control, minimal signal loss, and low interference. Unlike regular PCBs, RF PCBs are made with materials that have specific electrical and thermal properties to perform reliably at high frequencies.
What materials are used in the manufacturing of High-Frequency PCBs? High-frequency PCBs are made using specialized laminates such as PTFE (Teflon), Rogers, and other low-loss materials. These materials are selected based on their dielectric constant, loss tangent, and thermal conductivity to ensure reliable performance at high frequencies.
Do high-frequency PCBs require special testing or handling? Yes. They need precise manufacturing, tight tolerance control, and often stricter quality checks to ensure performance meets demanding specs.
Are high-frequency PCBs only for telecom products? No. They’re also used in automotive radar, medical equipment, satellite systems, and any product where signal quality at high speeds is critical.
What is a Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCB? What are the advantages of Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCBs? How are Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCBs manufactured? What are the applications of Mixed Laminate Multilayer PCBs? Do rigid-flex PCBs have special quality requirements? Yes. They need strict bend tests, good material control, and careful inspection to avoid cracks or layer separation during use.
What is a rigid-flex PCB? How does a rigid-flex PCB differ from a standard PCB? What are the benefits of using a rigid-flex PCB? What industries commonly use rigid-flex PCBs? What is the production process for a rigid-flex PCB like? What should I know before ordering flexible PCBs? Good design is key. Clear bend areas, proper materials, and choosing a supplier with flex PCB experience help avoid cracks or breaks.
What is a flexible PCB? What are the benefits of using flexible PCBs? What types of applications are suitable for flexible PCBs? What materials are used to make flexible PCBs? What is the difference between flexible and rigid-flex PCBs? What is a double sided PCB? What is the process of manufacturing double sided PCBs? What are the advantages of double sided PCBs? How does the trace routing differ in double sided PCBs compared to single sided PCBs? What quality issues should I watch for with thick copper PCBs? Pay attention to trace width, layer adhesion, and heat management. Work with an experienced manufacturer to avoid defects like uneven plating.
What is considered a thick copper PCB? What are the main applications of thick copper PCBs? What are the advantages of thick copper PCBs? Can SprintPCB produce multilayer thick copper PCBs? Are there any design guidelines for thick copper PCBs?
