High Temperature PCB - Hard Gold Contact Fingers PCB - HDI Gold Finger PCB - Gold-plated Edge Connector Circuit Board

Printed Circuit Boards are custom-made products; the images and specifications provided are for reference only.

 

General Description

This 8-layer printed circuit board (PCB) is constructed on an FR-4 substrate with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 170°C, specifically designed for Mobile Broadband use. It has a finished thickness of 1.6 mm, with a green Taiyo solder mask, white Taiyo silkscreen, and immersion gold plating on pads. The board features 80 gold finger strips along its edge for plug-in connectivity.

The base material is sourced from Taiwan ITEQ, with one PCB (1-up configuration) per manufacturing panel. It incorporates blind vias (connecting the top layer to inner layer 6) and buried vias (connecting inner layer 3 to inner layer 6), and is fabricated in compliance with the IPC 6012 Class 2 standard using customer-supplied Gerber data. For shipment, PCBs are packaged in batches of 25 units each.

Gold finger PCB

 

Purpose & Plating Process

Gold finger PCBs eliminate the need for a two-part connector system by enabling direct electrical connection to the board. The nickel and gold plating process follows the same electrolytic deposition principle as copper or tin/lead plating, and can be performed manually or automatically.

 

Manual Plating: Boards remain relatively stationary in the gold plating bath, leading to uneven gold deposition along the contact finger row. Typically, the outermost fingers may have twice the gold thickness of the center fingers.

Automatic Plating: Boards slide through the plating cell during processing, ensuring consistent treatment of all contact fingers. This method controls gold thickness variation to within ±5% or better.

 

Edge Connector Design Features

Guiding & Polarization Slots: Edge connectors often include a slot to guide the PCB into the receptacle (locating slot) and prevent incorrect insertion (polarization slot). PCB manufacturers typically route this slot simultaneously with board contouring, requiring the slot to be slightly wider than the router bit used.

 

Bevelled Edge: The edge of the connector is bevelled to simplify insertion into the receptacle. This design also reduces scraping of the receptacle’s contacts during PCB insertion, minimizing wear on both components.
