4-layer HDI soft and hard combination board PCB
4-layer HDI soft and hard combination board PCB is a PCB that achieves higher circuit density by using thinner lines, smaller apertures and denser wiring
design. This PCB technology can achieve more circuit connections in
a limited space by adopting more advanced manufacturing processes
and design technologies, and is widely used in mobile phones,
tablets, computers, equipment, automobiles, electronics and other
medical fields.
HDI PCB(High-Density Interconnect Printed Circuit Board)
Advantages of Miniaturization design PCB
Extreme Miniaturization & Weight Reduction:
Combines 3D Design (Flex) with Microvias (HDI): Achieves the
highest possible component and routing density while allowing the
circuit to bend, fold, and fit into extremely small, irregular
spaces.
Eliminates bulky connectors and cables, significantly reducing
product size and weight.
Superior Electrical Performance:
Enhanced Signal Integrity: The HDI features (microvias, finer
traces) combined with short, continuous flexible paths minimize
signal loss, noise, and impedance mismatch, which is crucial for
high-speed digital and RF applications.
Highest Reliability in Harsh Environments:
Fewer Failure Points: Integration into a single HDI structure
eliminates multiple connector interfaces and solder joints.
High Durability: The structure provides the strength and component
density of HDI with the vibration and shock resistance of flexible
materials, ideal for mission-critical or ruggedized electronics.
Simplified Assembly:
The circuit is fabricated as a single, pre-tested unit,
significantly reducing manual assembly time, complexity, and the
risk of human error during final product build.
Application Scenarios
1. Consumer Electronics (Miniaturization Focus):
• Smartphones & Tablets: Enables ultra-thin designs and allows
high-density component mounting (e.g., processor, memory) in
minimal space.
• Wearable Devices: Crucial for fitness trackers, smartwatches, and
smart glasses that require complex functionality in a small,
contoured, and often dynamic form factor.
• Digital Cameras & Camcorders: Used to connect moving parts (e.g.,
lens mechanisms, swivel screens) with the main rigid board while
saving significant space.
2. Medical Devices (Reliability & Size Focus):
• Implantable Devices: Such as pacemakers and cochlear implants,
where high reliability, extreme miniaturization, and
biocompatibility are essential.
• Portable Diagnostic/Monitoring Equipment: Handheld ultrasound
devices, monitors, and hearing aids require dense circuitry in a
compact, durable package.
3. Aerospace & Defense (Ruggedness & Weight Focus):
• Avionics and Flight Control Systems: Used in cockpit displays and
control modules where circuits must withstand high vibration,
shock, and extreme temperatures while meeting strict weight
reduction goals.
• Satellite and Spacecraft Electronics: Essential for maximizing
functionality while minimizing weight and surviving harsh
environmental conditions (vacuum, temperature extremes, radiation).
• Military Communications & Guidance Systems: Provides durable,
reliable interconnections for equipment like handheld radios,
missile guidance, and surveillance gear.
4. Automotive Electronics (Vibration & Complexity Focus):
• Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS): Used in sensor
modules, radar, and Lidar units.
• Infotainment & Dashboard Systems: Provides reliable
interconnections that must curve and fold to fit behind complex
dashboard geometries while resisting vibration.
5. Industrial & Robotics:
• Articulating Robotics: Used in the "joints" or moving arms of
industrial robots, where the circuit must withstand millions of
flexing cycles without failure.
• High-Density Sensor Arrays: For industrial automation and control
systems that require dense components and reliable connections in
tight, machine-mounted locations.
