Multilayer PCB Lamination: Challenges from 1 to 20 Layers

In the electronics industry, PCB (Printed Circuit Board) technology has evolved dramatically — from simple single-sided boards to today’s complex 10, 20, or even higher-layer constructions. This progress enables faster signal processing and higher-density packaging, but it also brings major challenges in the multilayer lamination process, which is critical to…

Heavy Copper PCBs in High-Power Applications: Importance and Benefits

In the fast-evolving world of electronics, performance and reliability are paramount. High-power applications, such as power supplies, electric vehicles, industrial machinery, and RF amplifiers, place extreme demands on printed circuit boards (PCBs). Traditional PCBs often struggle to cope with these requirements, which is where heavy copper PCBs come into play.…
