Rigid Printed Circuit Boards

Introducing Rigid Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs), the go-to solution for reliable and high-performance electronic circuits. These PCBs are designed with rigid substrates, offering stability, durability, and excellent electrical performance. Rigid PCBs are widely used in various industries, from consumer electronics to automotive and industrial applications.

Our Rigid PCBs are manufactured using top-grade materials and state-of-the-art techniques, ensuring exceptional quality and consistency. With precise trace routing and optimized layer stack-up, these PCBs deliver excellent signal integrity and impedance control.

The rigid nature of these PCBs provides structural integrity, making them suitable for applications where components need to be securely mounted. Whether you’re building a smartphone, a medical device, or a control system.

With our Rigid PCBs, you benefit from efficient assembly processes, as the rigid substrate allows for easy automated assembly and soldering. This also reduces production time and cost, making Rigid PCBs a cost-effective solution for large-scale manufacturing.

The capabilities of rigid printed circuit boards (PCBs) can vary depending on the specific manufacturer and their equipment, expertise, and production processes. However, here are some common capabilities associated with rigid PCB manufacturing:

1. Layer count: Rigid PCBs can be manufactured with single-sided, double-sided, or multilayer configurations. The layer count depends on the complexity of the circuit design and the requirements of the application. Multilayer PCBs can provide increased functionality and density.
2. Material selection: Rigid PCBs are typically made using rigid substrate materials such as FR-4 (a flame-retardant glass epoxy laminate) or other specialized materials like metal-core PCBs for better thermal management. The choice of material depends on factors such as electrical properties, thermal performance, and application requirements.
3. Copper weight and thickness: Rigid PCBs can be fabricated with different copper weights and thicknesses to accommodate various current-carrying capacities and design considerations. Common copper weights include 0.5 oz, 1 oz, 2 oz, and higher, depending on the requirements.
4. Circuit trace width and spacing: Rigid PCB manufacturers can produce circuit traces with precise widths and spacing to meet specific design requirements. The capabilities for trace width and spacing depend on the manufacturing processes and equipment used by the manufacturer.
5. Surface finishes: Rigid PCBs can be finished with various surface treatments to protect the copper traces and enhance solderability. Common surface finishes include Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold (ENIG), HASL (Hot Air Solder Leveling), OSP (Organic Solderability Preservatives), and Immersion Tin or Silver.
6. Solder mask and legend printing: Rigid PCBs can have solder mask coatings applied to protect the copper traces and prevent solder bridges during assembly. Legend printing is the process of adding component designators, logos, and other identifying marks to the board for assembly and troubleshooting purposes.
7. Panelization and routing: Rigid PCB manufacturers can panelize multiple PCBs on a single panel for efficient production. They can also provide routing services to separate the individual PCBs from the panel while ensuring clean and accurate cuts.
8. Quality control and testing: Reputable rigid PCB manufacturers have robust quality control processes in place to ensure that each board meets the specified requirements. They may conduct various tests, including electrical continuity testing, impedance testing, and dimensional checks, to verify the integrity and performance of the PCBs.
