Industry: Fiber Optic Test & Measurement, High-Speed Data Transmission
Application: Next-gen 100G/400G+ optical transceivers, OTDR equipment, and 50GHz RF test modules.
FIS designs precision fiber optic tools, requiring ultra-low-loss PCBs to maintain signal integrity at millimeter-wave frequencies (up to 50GHz). Their challenges include:
Insertion loss degrading high-speed signals (>40Gbps).
Impedance mismatches causing reflection noise.
Thermal expansion leading to microvia cracking in compact designs.
The customer is a globally leading manufacturer of communication equipment, specializing in the development and production of large-scale routers, switches, servers, and high-speed networking devices. As modern network communications demand increasingly high signal integrity, reliability, and thermal stability, the customer required an 18-layer PCB with low-loss material (S1000-2M) and advanced immersion gold plating to ensure stable signal transmission and long-term reliability
Basic soldering guide on how to solder electronic components to a printed circuit board (PCB). This is a detailed and complete soldering guide for both automated soldering in mass production and manual soldering in PCB rework and repair.
A Multilayer PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a type of PCB with more than two conductive layers. Unlike a double-sided PCB, which has two copper layers (top and bottom), a multilayer PCB consists of three or more layers of copper, interconnected by copper-plated vias. The number of layers can range from 3 layers to 40 layers or more, depending on the design requirements
As we step into 2025, the electronics manufacturing industry is poised for transformative changes driven by technological advancements, shifting consumer demands, and global economic factors. At KKPCB, we are committed to staying at the forefront of these developments to deliver cutting-edge solutions to our clients. Here’s an overview of the key trends set to reshape the industry this year.
A multilayer PCB is a printed circuit board that consists of more than two layers, typically at least three or more layers of conductive copper, separated by an insulating material (substrate). These layers are stacked and connected by vias, resulting in a compact and efficient PCB design.
A flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) is a type of PCB that can be bent or twisted to fit into specific spaces or conform to different shapes. Unlike rigid PCBs, FPCBs are made from flexible materials, such as polyimide, and are ideal for use in compact, complex, and high-performance electronic devices.
Rigid-Flex PCB is a hybrid of both rigid and flexible PCBs. In its simplest form, Rigid-Flex PCB consists of a rigid circuit board joined with a flexible circuit board, combining the advantages of both types.
A Rigid-Flex PCB is made by laminating a rigid and a flexible substrate together to form a single board. Double-sided or multi-layer Rigid-Flex PCBs are interconnected by Plated Through Holes (PTH).
