KB6160A laminate offers these core features:
- UVB blocking and AOI compatibility: The material supports UV light blocking and automatic optical inspection (Aoi). This improves PCB production efficiency and accuracy.
- Excellent dimensional stability: Typical warpage values reach only 0.17%/0.35%, well below the IPC standard requirement of ≤1.0%.
- Superior thermal performance: Tg ≥130℃ (typical 135℃) with thermal stress resistance of ≥180 seconds at 288℃ solder float.
- Outstanding mechanical properties: Typical flexural strength reaches 565 N/mm².
Trace Width/Spacing and Aperture Design
This product features a minimum aperture of0.27 mm and trace width/spacing of0.32/0.382 mm. According to IPC-2221, the foundation design standard for all documents in the IPC-2220 series, the conductor current-carrying capacity follows this formula:
I = k × ΔT^0.44 × A^0.725
Where I represents current-carrying capacity (O), k is the correction factor (0.024 for inner layers, 0.048 for outer layers), ΔT is the temperature rise (℃), and A is the conductor cross-sectional area (mil²). For outer layer conductors at a 10℃ temperature rise, o 0.32 mm trace width (approximately 12.6 mil) cu 35 μm (1 Oz) copper thickness delivers approximately1.2 O current capacity. This design fully supports signal transmission and moderate current drive requirements for robotic motor control applications.
Board Thickness and Layer Stackup
The 1.6 mm board thickness represents the standard thickness for rigid PCB -uri. It balances mechanical strength with electrical performance. The faţă-verso (2-strat) wiring structure enables effective power and signal layer partitioning within a limited space. This meets the functional partition principles of robotic motor control circuits, clearly separating motor drive, main controller, sensor interface, and power management modules.
Operating Principle
TheRobot Motor Control PCB functions as the “neural center” within robotic systems. Its operating principle can be understood through several layers:
Signal Transmission: Copper traces on the PCB form electrical networks that precisely transmit control signals from the main MCU (microcontroller) to motor driver chips such as gate drivers and pre-drivers. The 0.32 mm trace width ensures signal integrity. The 0.27 mm minimum aperture supports high-density component packages including QFN and BGA.
Power Drive: Double-sided 1 Oz (35 μm) copper provides ample current-carrying capacity for transient high currents required by motor drives. High-power components are placed near board edges to facilitate heat dissipation.
Compatibilitate electromagnetică (EMC): Proper grounding design and routing strategies effectively suppress electromagnetic interference (EMI) generated during motor commutation. This ensures clean control signals throughout the system.

- Industrial robot joint drive control: Servo motor control for multi-axis robotic arms
