8-layer PCB is engineered for mission-critical industrial communication applications, where high-frequency signal integrity, electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and rugged durability are essential. Mit Dimensionen von 190mm×170mm und a 1.7mm Dicke, the board balances large-scale component integration with mechanical stability for industrial control cabinets and communication hubs. The unique TU-862+RO4350B material stackup combines TU-862’s cost-effective mechanical strength with RO4350B’s low-loss dielectric properties (Dk=3.48, tanδ=0.004 at 10GHz), making it ideal for high-speed data transmission in protocols like Ethernet, CANopen, and PROFIBUS.

Advanced Layer & Copper Design

  • Asymmetric Copper Thickness:
    • Outer layers: 1Oz (35μm) for robust power traces and EMI shielding
    • Inner layers: 0.5Oz (18μm) for fine-pitch signal routing
    • Enables balanced power distribution (4 Kraft-/Bodenebenen) and high-speed signal layers (4 differential pair channels)
  • Precision Impedance Control:
    • 50Ω ±8% for microstrip/stripline configurations
    • Achieved via controlled dielectric thickness and trace width calculations
    • Minimizes signal reflection in 10Gbps Ethernet and industrial wireless interfaces

Specialized Manufacturing Processes

  • Non-Conductive Filled Vias (NCFV) with Copper Capping:
    • Vias filled with resin to prevent voids, then capped with copper for smooth surface finish
    • Eliminates solder wicking risks in BGA areas and improves thermal conductivity
  • Sequential Lamination:
    • 8 layers laminated in stages to ensure uniform dielectric thickness and registration accuracy (<50μm)
  • ENIG Surface Finish:
    • 3-5μm nickel layer for corrosion resistance
    • 0.05-0.1μm gold layer for long-term solderability
  • Matt Green LPI Solder Mask:
    • Reduces glare during AOI inspection
    • Provides superior chemical resistance in industrial environments

Industrial Communication Optimizations

  • EMC/EMI -Minderung:
    • Ground plane stitching vias every 2mm to suppress common-mode noise
    • Differential pair routing with 10:1 length matching for minimal skew
  • Thermalmanagement:
    • Thermal vias connecting power planes to outer layers for efficient heat dissipation
    • Copper pour areas on power layers to reduce hotspots
  • Mixed Assembly Support:
    • SMT for high-density ICs (Z.B., PHY chips, FPGAs)
    • DIP for rugged connectors (Z.B., RJ45, DB25) and relays
