Modern electronics, especially portable devices, can have an astounding amount of circuit functionality. Communication, networking, navigating, photography, and various sensors are just some of the features of a handheld device. Electronic miniaturization for these devices isn’t possible without the benefits of high-density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards. Designers need an HDI PCB manufacturer to successfully specify and build HDI-printed circuit boards.
Features for HDI Designs | |
---|---|
Microvia | Shrunk via hole diameters significantly frees up routing with stacked/staggered layer transitions. |
Flex / rigid-flex | Flex and rigid-flex boards allow greater space utilization within compact enclosures, replacing more intricate wire harnesses. |
BGAs | The highest component pinout possible requires microvias and minimal trace widths for breakout. |
High % SMD | While SMD has a higher propensity for PCBAs, HDI box builds are likely to have an even greater restriction on component height. |
