4-Layer Rigid-Flex PCB Manufacturer – High Tg, 1.6mm d'épaisseur, ENIG+Gold Plating | UGPCB

1.UGPCB 4-Layer High Tg Rigid-Flex PCB Présentation du produit: Redefining High-Reliability Interconnectivity

In modern high-end electronic design, traditional rigid Cartes de circuits imprimés (PCB) are often limited by space and form factor, while Flexible PCBs (FPC) may lack mechanical support. PCB rigide-flexible technologie, an innovative Fabrication de PCB solution, perfectly merges the stability of rigid boards with the bendability of flexible circuits. UGPCB 4-Layer High Tg Rigid-Flex PCB, with its precise lamination structure, superior material selection, and demanding surface finish, stands as the ideal PCB solution for complex 3D spatial layouts and harsh operating environments.

2. Scientific Classification & Core Parameters

3. Design Essentials & Structure Analysis

Successful Rigid-Flex PCB design est critique. This product is designed adhering to these key points:

1. Rigid-to-Flex Transition Zone Design: Bend areas are meticulously simulated, avoiding right and acute angles. Smooth curved traces are implemented to eliminate stress concentration points, a cornerstone of high-reliability PCB design.

2. Stack-up Symmetry: Rigid sections employ a symmetrical lamination stack-up (par ex., copper-dielectric-core-dielectric-copper) to prevent warping under thermal stress.

3. Compatibilité des matériaux: The selected Panasonic RF-777 material has matched Coefficients of Thermal Expansion (CTE) in both rigid and flexible zones, ensuring robust bonding at the interfaces.

Structural Feature: The board is constructed by laminating two rigid outer sections with a multilayer structure containing flexible inner layers, enabling electrical interconnection in three-dimensional space.

4. Matériels & Performance

• Core Material: Panasonic RF-777. This is a high-performance laminate specifically optimized for Rigid-Flex PCB fabrication.

  • Température de transition de verre élevée (Tg): Provides excellent thermal stability, maintaining mechanical and electrical properties during high-temperature soldering (par ex., lead-free reflow) and in high-temperature operating environments.

  • Low Dk (Constante diélectrique) & Df (Facteur de dissipation): Ensures signal integrity for circuit imprimé haute fréquence applications.

  • Superior Dimensional Stability & Résistance chimique: Guarantees long-term reliability.

• Finition de surface: ENIG 3µ” + Electroplated Hard Gold 30µ”. This combination is a key differentiator.

  • ACCEPTER: Provides a flat, highly solderable surface finish across the entire board, suitable for fine-pitch component assembly.

  • Electroplated Hard Gold: Applied selectively to connector fingers or areas subject to frequent insertion/withdrawal or friction, the 30µ” hard gold layer dramatically increases wear resistance, oxidation resistance, and contact reliability, extending connector lifecycle.
