Introduction
In today’s advanced RF and high-frequency electronics, signal integrity, thermal stability, and reliability are non-negotiable. Our 18-layer rigid PCB, constructed with Rogers RO4350B laminates and RO4450F bondply, is designed to meet the most demanding requirements in telecommunications, automotive radar, and aerospace applications. With ultra-low loss, tight dielectric constant (Dk) control, and superior thermal performance, this PCB ensures optimal functionality even in extreme conditions.

Precision Construction & Key Specifications
Every detail of this PCB is engineered for high-frequency stability and durability:

Base Material: High-performance RO4350B (core) + RO4450F (bondply) for superior RF characteristics.

Layer Count: 18 layers with 4/4 mil trace/space and 0.4mm minimum hole size.

Blind Vias: Mechanically drilled (L11-L18) for high-density interconnects.

Surface Finish: Immersion Gold + Selective Hard Gold (50 μin) for excellent solderability and corrosion resistance.

Via-in-Pad & Press-Fit Holes: Supported for enhanced mechanical and electrical performance.

Resin-Filled & Capped Vias: Improve reliability and prevent solder wicking.

100% Electrical Tested: Guaranteed functionality before shipment.

Optimized Stackup for Maximum Performance
The 18-layer stackup is meticulously designed to minimize signal loss and ensure thermal stability:

Alternating RO4350B cores (4mil) and RO4450F bondply (4mil) for consistent impedance control.

35μm copper layers (1oz) on all inner and outer layers for optimal current handling.

Low Z-axis CTE (32 ppm/°C) prevents via cracking under thermal stress.

High Tg (>280°C) ensures stability in high-temperature environments.
