MULTILAYER PCBS

Multilayer PCBs with blind & buried vias

Background

SCHWEIZER's rigid multilayer PCBs can contain plated and non-plated through hole and blind & buried vias. Multilayer PCBs are produced with FR4 or higher quality base materials. As standard, a maximum of 18 layers are used and PCB thicknesses in the range of 0.6 mm to 3.2 mm are realised.

Applications

Control devices in the automotive sector, aviation engineering, communications electronics, and industrial electronics

Benefits

For the miniaturisation of electrical devices, wiring can take place over multiple layers to save space and increase the packing density of the components. The layers can be electrically connected by means of mechanically drilled via holes and blind & buried vias.

Special features

To increase reliability for complex lay-ups with via holes, buried vias, and blind vias, the plugging process can be used if required. The plugged holes can also be plated over with copper if necessary.
