Client: Anonymous
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
