Hybrid PCB
A hybrid PCB is a multilayer printed circuit board, which has multiple materials for each layer. With the right combination of substrates, the reliability of hybrid PCBs increases many folds. In fact, different substrate materials have different dielectric quotients and coefficients of thermal expansion improve the electrical performance of the PCB.
materials utilized in the fabrication of hybrid pcb
Typically, a hybrid PCB could use a mix of FR-4 material with high frequency PTFE material.
PTFE
Suitable for high-frequency PCBs, and applications require improved impedance control and low signal loss.
FR-4
Flame retardant and low on costs, it is known for its electrical insulation and high dielectric strength. It can withstand moisture and varying temperature range.
Polyimide
Polyimide is known for its high chemical resistance, great electrical properties, lightweight, and flexibility. However, it is more expensive when compared to PTFE and FR-4. Often PTFE and FR-4 are utilized in designing hybrid electronics PCB.
Challenges to consider when designing Hybrid PCBs
Each material has a different CTE value. This is challenging when one laminate expands, and other may shrink. It is important to ensure proper layer separation when fabricating multilayered hybrid electronics PCBs. Another issue to be tackled is knowing the period of delamination for materials. The adhesive system is utilized for hybrid circuit boards depending on the type of material. Determining material compatibility and managing warpage are the biggest challenges in manufacturing hybrid PCBs.
It is important to go with a company that has the necessary expertise in designing and manufacturing hybrid boards. At Technotronix, we offer high-quality hybrid printed circuit boards to meet your bespoke requirements.
