Surface Finish Specification (ENIG + Hard Gold)
Impedance Control Requirements (if applicable)
Assembly Constraints (if selective plating areas are tied to assembly needs)
Quantity and Delivery Timeline
Note: Due to the complexity of HDI structures, DFM (Design for Manufacturability) checks are highly recommended before production.
Q1: What is the purpose of using both ENIG and hard gold selectively?
A: Selective hard gold plating is used in high-wear contact areas like edge connectors, while ENIG is used elsewhere to ensure solderability and cost-efficiency.
Q2: What are blind and buried vias, and why are they used here?
A: Blind vias connect outer layers to inner layers, and buried vias connect only internal layers. They reduce layer-to-layer interconnection paths, enabling higher density without increasing board size.
Q3: Can you support impedance control for this PCB?
A: Yes. Impedance control can be implemented based on provided stack-up and trace width/spacing data. Please submit impedance requirements with your design.
Q4: What applications is this HDI PCB best suited for?
A: This PCB is ideal for use in mobile devices, RF modules, high-speed computing, medical instruments, and aerospace-grade electronics where compact form factor and signal integrity are critical.
Q5: What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
A: MOQ depends on specific production needs. We offer low-volume prototyping and high-volume production. Please contact us for a tailored quote.
