There are several advantages to HDI PCBs. These include the ability to stretch, be flexible and heat resistant, and being durable. Read on to learn more about HDI. The HDI production facility of Epec utilizes the latest technology equipment. This will provide you with the best possible HDI PCBs.
High-density interconnect
High-density interconnect PCB (HDI) is a technology that can fit several components onto one board. Its use in consumer electronics products like smartphones, smart wearables, tablet PCs, and gaming consoles is growing. Due to increasing demand for these components, the market is expected to grow.
High-density interconnect PCBs have numerous advantages. They provide higher signal transmission, and can support more advanced features. They can be used in a wide range of applications, including 4G network communications, medical devices, and aircraft.
Flexible
HDI PCBs are known for their flexibility, high density, and reduced layering. These advantages allow designers to fit electronics in tighter spaces. They are also easy to place and offer superior electrical performance. They are also great for reducing production costs and improving board reliability. This technology can be used in a variety of industries, including mobile phones, portable game consoles, and more.
HDI PCBs can be made from a wide variety of materials. The core may be FR4 or metal, or the substrate can be made of fiberglass. There are also several types of surface finishes available, including ENIG, HASL, immersion tin, immersion silver, and gold. The most common finish is ENIG. The number of sequential laminations varies, based on the number of vias. Choosing the least expensive method for a particular design may be the best choice if it reduces cost and improves yield.
Heat-resistant
High-density interconnect (HDI) circuit boards have several benefits, including better performance power, shorter lead times, and better signal transmission. This heat-resistant technology can also provide better performance in applications where the board must withstand high temperatures. During the manufacturing process, the HDI boards are placed in a lamination process that involves heat and pressure.
HDI circuit boards allow for more components to be arranged on a single side. They utilize advanced technologies such as buried vias and blind vias to create a board with less space and better signal transmission. This makes them ideal for RF circuits. Laser drill technology is another way to create HDI PCBs. This process produces smaller holes and offers greater heat resistance.
Durable
Durable HDI PCB technology is designed to be more robust than standard PCBs. These boards use stacked vias and via in pad technology to ensure high signal integrity, reduce signal scatter, and promote operational health. These boards are also less prone to errors and are more resilient to variable environmental conditions.
In order to build a durable HDI PCB, it is important to employ proper assembly techniques. Moreover, a prototype is required before the production process can begin. The prototype must be created using a PCB design software that includes a schematic, component list, and component libraries.
Cost
The cost of HDI PCB production varies depending on the materials used. The materials used must meet specified regulations and be of high quality. Dielectric materials need to have a specific glass transition temperature and decomposition temperature, as well as high thermal expansion coefficients. High performance dielectric materials will be more expensive than standard ones.
The number of layers is another factor that will influence the cost. The more layers that are needed, the higher the cost of the HDI PCB. The number of vias will also increase the price. Micro-vias and through-holes will also affect the price of the PCB. The smallest vias will cost more than larger ones, as they require more precision.
