Hello everyone,
Good day!
Today’s focus is on a 6-layer hybrid PCB constructed with a 20mil RO4350B core and FR-4 material. In this article, we’ll explore two distinct board designs. The first board is designed for satellite receiver applications. It features a single RO4350B core on the top layer, as illustrated in the stack-up below. The design is relatively complex, incorporating three different types of blind vias. The board has a total thickness of 1.71mm, with white silkscreen printed over green solder mask on both sides. Pads and tracks are finished with immersion gold plating. Each unit is supplied as a single board, manufactured in compliance with IPC 6012 Class 2 standards using provided Gerber files. For shipping, the boards are packed in sets of 25 per shipment. |

RO4350B hybrid PCBs have a broad range of applications, including but not limited to: low-noise amplifiers (LNA), radar data acquisition converters, spread spectrum systems, 4G antennas, transmitters, RF switches, and splitter modules, among others. |
|
|
|
|
|
RO4350B hybrid PCBs offer numerous benefits |
|
|
1. RO4350B maintains a stable dielectric constant across a wide frequency range;
2. Enhanced signal integrity compared to stack-ups using only FR4 materials;
3. Cost-effective solution compared to designs relying entirely on low-loss materials;
4. Robust manufacturing capability, producing over 8,000 types of PCBs monthly;
5. Certified manufacturing facility compliant with ISO9001, ISO14001, IATF16949, and UL standards;
6. No minimum order quantity (MOQ), offering affordable options for prototypes and small-batch production.
