18-Layer High-Performance Megtron-7 PCB Manufacturer | 1.86mm grosime | ENIG 2u”

In the era of high-speed data transfer and precision computing, the performance of the printed circuit board (PCB)—the core brain of electronic devices—determines the entire system’s capability. UGPCB introduces its high-performance 18-layer rigid PCB based on Megtron-7 material, 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 Product Overview & Definiţie

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) Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (De acord) surface finish. This specification represents an advanced tier in de înaltă performanță Fabricarea PCB-urilor, designed for applications where signal integrity, Managementul termic, 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:

1. Stack-up Design: A rational layer stack-up is critical for impedance control and crosstalk reduction. A typical 18-layer stack includes multiple signal, power, and ground planes to ensure stable power distribution and clear signal return paths.

2. Controlul impedanței: High-speed signal transmission demands precise controlled impedance PCB design. Trace width and spacing must be calculated accurately based on the Dk (Constanta dielectrică) and Df (Factor de disipare) of Megtron-7. We offer professional impedance calculation and simulation services.

3. Managementul termic: 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.

4. Interconectare de înaltă densitate (HDI) Considerations: While this is a standard through-hole design, careful planning of via types (blind, buried, through-hole) is essential at this layer count to minimize stub effects and optimize signal paths.

3. How It Works & Structura

O multi-layer PCB 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. Acest 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.

4. Core Materials & Key Performance

• Materials Used:

  • Laminate: Megtron-7. This is a high-performance, low-loss copper-clad laminate from Panasonic, renowned for its stable dielectric constant (Dk ~3.3) and extremely low dissipation factor (Df ~0.001). It is optimized for applications above 10GHz and into millimeter-wave frequencies.

  • Folie de cupru: Utilizes Very Low Profile (VLP) or Reverse Treated Foil (RTF) to minimize “skin effect” losses caused by signal transmission on rough copper surfaces.

  • Surface Finish: Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (De acord, 2u”). Provides a flat surface, excellent solderability, a reliable contact interface (suitable for gold fingers), and long shelf life.

• Outstanding Performance:

  • Superior Signal Integrity (SI): Exceptionally low signal loss ensures high-speed pulse waveforms remain undistorted.

  • Excellent Power Integrity (Pi): Multiple dedicated power and ground planes offer very low power distribution network impedance and superior decoupling.

  • Fiabilitate ridicată: The 1.86mm board thickness and premium materials deliver high mechanical strength, heat resistance, and long-term environmental stability.

  • Stable Impedance Control: Achieved through material consistency and precision manufacturing processes.
