Cartes PCB traversantes double face

je. Présentation du produit

UGPCB Double-Sided Through-Hole PCB Board is a high-performance 2-layer rigid circuit imprimé built on an FR-4 glass-epoxy substrate using plated through-hole (PTH) technologie. The board measures 86.9 × 73.58 mm with a thickness of 1.0 mm, copper foil thickness of 1/1 once (35 μm on both outer and inner layers), and a lead-free hot air solder leveling (HASL) finition de surface. The solder mask is green, and the silkscreen legend is white.

A double-sided through-hole PCB (double-sided printed circuit board) features conductive circuitry on both sides of the insulating substrate, with plated through-holes enabling electrical interconnection between the two layers. Compared to single-sided PCBs, double-sided PCBs offer 60%–80% higher routing density and support more complex circuit designs. UGPCB, backed by ISO-certified quality systems and IPC-compliant manufacturing processes, delivers high-quality double-sided through-hole PCBs and turnkey PCB services to electronics manufacturers worldwide.

II. Product Definition and Technical Specifications

Per IPC-6012F Qualification et spécifications de performances pour les cartes imprimées rigides (published September 2023), the double-sided through-hole PCB is classified as a rigid printed board with plated through-holes (Taper 2). Its core feature is the electrical connection between conductors on both sides through copper-plated hole walls. UGPCB manufactures this product in full compliance with IPC-6012F and meets Class 2 performance requirements (dedicated service electronic equipment).

III. Directives de conception

3.1 Substrate Material Selection — Engineering Value of FR-4

FR-4 is a flame-retardant grade designation established by the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA). The letters “FR” stand for flame-retardant, and the number “4” denotes an epoxy resin system reinforced with woven glass fabric. Per IPC-4101 Specification for Base Materials for Rigid and Multilayer Printed Boards, FR-4 Grade A1 represents the core performance tier with optimal mechanical strength, electrical properties, and long-term reliability.

Key Performance Indicators of FR-4 (Source: IPC-4101 and industry standards):

• Température de transition du verre (Tg): 130–140°C (standard FR-4)

• Constante diélectrique (Ne sait pas) @ 1 GHz: 4.2–4.5

• Facteur de dissipation (Df) @ 1 GHz: ≤ 0.020

• Cote d'inflammabilité: UL 94 V-0

• Absorption d'eau (24 heures): ≤ 0.10%

FR-4 remains the predominant substrate material in the PCB industry because it offers an outstanding balance of mechanical strength, isolation électrique, stabilité dimensionnelle, and processability.

3.2 Circuit Design Standards per IPC-2221

Pour IPC-2221 Norme générique sur la conception des cartes imprimées, conductor width design must account for current-carrying capacity, temperature rise, et épaisseur de cuivre. The IPC-2221 current-carrying capacity formula is:

I = k · ΔT^0.44 · A^0.725

Où:

• I = Maximum current-carrying capacity (UN)

• k = Empirical constant (0.048 for external layers, 0.024 for internal layers)

• ΔT = Allowable temperature rise (° C)

• A = Conductor cross-sectional area (mil²), where A = W × T

UGPCB’s product features a line width of 0.32 mm (environ. 12.6 mil), line spacing of 0.37 mm (environ. 14.6 mil), and copper thickness of 1 once (35 µm). For an external layer trace with a 10°C temperature rise:

A = 0.32 mm × 0.035 mm = 0.0112 mm² ≈ 17.36 mil²

I = 0.048 × 10^0.44 × 17.36^0.725 ≈ 0.048 × 2.75 × 7.82 ≈ 1.03 UN

This conductor width supports approximately 1 A of current, meeting the power and signal transmission needs of most consumer electronics and industrial control equipment. IPC-2221 recommends limiting the maximum temperature rise to 10°C or 20°C to preserve PCB service life.

3.3 Hole Diameter and Aspect Ratio Design

The aspect ratio of a through-hole is a critical metric for evaluating drilling and hole metallization difficulty. The formula is:

Aspect Ratio = Board Thickness / Drilled Hole Diameter

For UGPCB’s product with 1.0 mm board thickness and 0.236 mm minimum hole diameter:

Aspect Ratio = 1.0 / 0.236 ≈ 4.24:1

This aspect ratio is well below the industry-recommended upper limit of 10:1 and the conservative design threshold of 8:1. It indicates low difficulty in drilling and metallization, high yield rates, controlled costs, and assured through-hole reliability.

3.4 Land Pattern Design Reference

Per IPC-7351 Generic Requirements for Surface Mount Design and Land Pattern Standard, land pattern design must ensure adequate solder fillet formation and meet solderability, inspectability, and reworkability requirements. Pour composants traversants, land diameter is typically recommended at 1.8–2.2 times the hole diameter to ensure sufficient annular ring width.

IV. Principe de fonctionnement

The double-sided through-hole PCB operates on three core technologies:

1. Double-Sided Routing — Conductive circuit patterns are etched on both the top and bottom surfaces of the FR-4 insulating substrate, allowing component placement on both sides. This significantly increases circuit density and design flexibility.

2. Trou traversant plaqué (PTH) Interconnection — After drilling, electroless copper deposition and electrolytic copper plating build up a conductive layer on the hole walls. This creates low-resistance, highly reliable electrical connections between the top and bottom layers. Per IPC-6012F Class 2, the minimum average plated copper thickness on hole walls must be ≥ 20 µm.

3. Component Assembly and Soldering — Components are mounted through hole (Tht) or surface mount (CMS) techniques and electrically connected via reflow or wave soldering, producing a fully functional PCBA (Assemblage de la carte de circuit imprimé) module.

V. Classement du produit

Per the IPC-6012F classification system for rigid printed boards, UGPCB’s product is classified as follows:

By application domain, this product falls into the General Industrial Grade Double-Sided PCB category, suitable for consumer electronics, contrôles industriels, équipement de communication, adaptateurs de puissance, and other medium-reliability applications.

Vi. Composition des matériaux

6.1 Substrate — FR-4 Copper-Clad Laminate

FR-4 is a glass-reinforced epoxy laminate composed of electronic-grade woven glass fabric as reinforcement and epoxy resin as the binder, consolidated under high temperature and pressure. Its UL 94 V-0 flammability rating means that in the vertical burn test, the material self-extinguishes within 10 seconds after each of two 10-second flame applications, with no flaming drips that ignite cotton.

6.2 Copper Foil — 1/1 once

One ounce (1 once) of copper foil has a thickness of 35 µm (1.37 mil). UGPCB utilise 1 OZ copper on both outer layers (designated 1/1 once), ensuring equal current-carrying capacity and conductivity on both sides.

6.3 Surface Finish — Lead-Free HASL

Lead-Free HASL involves immersing the PCB in molten lead-free solder (typically Sn-Cu, Sn-Cu-Ni, or Sn-Ag-Cu alloys), then using high-pressure hot air knives to level and remove excess solder. This produces a uniform, solderable protective coating on the copper surfaces. The process complies with IPC-6012F requirements and RoHS environmental directives.

6.4 Masque de soudure et légende
