Consumer Electronics

Engineering considerations

Cost and volume consistency

Consumer projects are usually price-sensitive mid-to-high volume, where panel utilisation and stable yield matter more than process limits. Combined monthly capacity across the two sites is 160,000 m², supporting production ramp-up.

Thin and slim construction

Wearables and handhelds are thickness-constrained; flex, HDI or carbon-ink processes reduce stack height. Board thickness down to 0.2 mm is available, with the actual limit reviewed against layer count and material.

Applicable board types

The board types below are the ones that come up most often in consumer electronics applications. Each link goes to that board type's capability page with material, layer-count and process ranges. Combined constructions across board types, such as hybrid lamination or embedded copper, are confirmed by engineering review.

• Single-Sided PCB
• Double-Sided PCB
• HDI PCB
• Flex PCB
• Carbon Ink PCB

Production examples

The examples below are desensitized: no customer information, exact outline dimensions or full stack-up notation.

• Interconnect inside industrial control equipment

  2L · Flex PI · 0.2 mm · ENIG 2µin · Mid-size (long edge roughly 100–250 mm)

  • Double-sided polyimide flex with coverlay on both sides instead of solder mask, balancing bend life against insulation reliability.
  • At 0.2 mm total thickness, carrier handling and tension control are what keep the process stable.

• Consumer terminal and smart-home module

  4L · FR-4 ITEQ IT-180A · 1.6 mm ±10% · 沉银 / Immersion silver · Mid-size (long edge roughly 100–250 mm)

  • Four-layer IT-180A with immersion silver; silver gives lower high-frequency loss than HASL but is sensitive to storage environment and sulphur contamination, so vacuum anti-oxidation packing is used.
  • Via-in-pad and press-fit holes on a customer-supplied stack-up; for consumer projects, lead time and batch consistency matter more than extreme parameters.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a consumer electronics project take from enquiry to prototype?

Quotations are returned within 30 minutes as a rule. Expedited prototype lead times run by layer count: double-sided 24 hours, 4-layer 48 hours, 6–8 layer 72 hours, 10–12 layer 96 hours; single-stage HDI at 6 layers is 48 hours. Standard lead times and production scheduling are confirmed separately against order volume.

Which inspection and material documents can you supply?

As standard we supply a certificate of conformance, material certifications with lot records, and electrical test records; impedance test reports and microsection analysis are available on request. Acceptance can be run to IPC-6012 Class II or Class III, which must be stated on the order.
