In the era of high-speed data transfer and precision computing, the performance of the circuit imprimé (PCB)—the core brain of electronic devices—determines the entire system’s capability. UGPCB introduces its high-performance 18-layer rigid PCB basé sur Megtron-7 matériel, engineered to meet the most demanding electrical and physical challenges, serving as the essential foundation for your next-generation advanced equipment.
1.18-Layer Megtron-7 Rigid PCB Présentation du produit & Définition
This product is an 18-layer rigid high-layer count PCB with a precisely controlled thickness of 1.86mm and overall dimensions of 165mm x 120mm. It utilizes industry-leading Megtron-7 high-speed low-loss laminate and features a 2-microinch (approx. 0.05µm) Or par immersion au nickel autocatalytique (ACCEPTER) finition de surface. This specification represents an advanced tier in haute performance Fabrication de PCB, designed for applications where signal integrity, gestion thermique, and reliability are paramount.

2. Critical Design Considerations
Designing a successful 18-layer PCB, especially with high-speed materials like Megtron-7, requires careful attention to several core aspects:
-
Stack-up Design: A rational layer stack-up is critical for impedance control and crosstalk reduction. A typical 18-layer stack includes multiple signal, pouvoir, and ground planes to ensure stable power distribution and clear signal return paths.
-
Contrôle de l'impédance: High-speed signal transmission demands precise controlled impedance PCB conception. Trace width and spacing must be calculated accurately based on the Dk (Constante diélectrique) et Df (Facteur de dissipation) of Megtron-7. We offer professional impedance calculation and simulation services.
-
Gestion thermique: The 1.86mm board thickness and multi-layer structure necessitate effective thermal pathways in the design, such as using thermal vias to connect internal copper layers for efficient heat dissipation from components.
-
Interconnexion à haute densité (IDH) Considerations: While this is a standard through-hole design, careful planning of via types (blind, enterré, through-hole) is essential at this layer count to minimize stub effects and optimize signal paths.
3. How It Works & Structure
UN PCB multicouche functions like a highly integrated, three-dimensional “road network.” Electrical signals travel on copper traces (“roads”) on the surface and internal layers, with vertical connections between layers established through plated through-holes (“interchanges”). Dedicated power and ground planes provide stable voltage reference and noise shielding for the entire system. Ce 18-layer rigid PCB is formed through a precise lamination process, bonding multiple core layers and prepreg sheets into a single, robust unit with excellent electrical properties. Its sophisticated PCB board structure is the foundation for implementing complex circuit functionalities.
