TG stands for Glass Transition Temperature.
The typical TG is 130℃ or higher, while medium TG is generally greater than 150℃, and advanced TG is typically above 170℃. The material's temperature resistance improves as the TG increases.
Our default material boasts a TG of 150-160℃, surpassing the majority of other companies.
The Rogers RO4000 series holds a prominent position within the industry, known for its exceptional performance. This low-loss material is extensively utilized in microwave and millimeter-wave frequency designs. Compared to traditional PTFE materials, it offers greater convenience in circuit manufacturing while maintaining stable and consistent performance. Currently, the available options include 4003C and 4350B variants.
Fill in how many different designs you have in your Gerber file, divided by V-cuts, stamp holes, or milled slots.
The delivery type refers to the method by which you request PCBPath to produce and deliver your PCB design.
Single PCB: Your design will be produced and delivered as individual PCBs.
Panel by Customer: You are responsible for constructing the PCB panel and providing us with the panelized data for production.
Panel by PCBPath: We will construct the panel for you, incorporating v-cuts based on your requirements. (Please note that we only offer panelizing services for PCBs with regular shapes such as rectangles and circles. For PCBs with irregular shapes, you will need to panelize them yourself.)
The board size is determined by the customer and represents the length and width of the board.
For circular boards, it corresponds to the diameter of the circle.
In the case of boards with irregular shapes, the measurements are based on the maximum dimensions of the shape.
Quantity of single or panelized boards needed for the order.
Please specify the number of columns/rows in the PCB panel array. For example:
Edge rails are located at the board edges to facilitate easier fixation of the boards onto a machine. The rails can be easily cut after assembly.
The PCBs within the panel are interconnected as depicted in the following diagram:
There is a possibility of defective PCBs within the panel.
If you choose not to accept the X-out in the panel, the cost will increase accordingly.
For Double-sided/Multilayer metal substrate boards (Aluminum or Copper Base), there are two available structures depending on the positioning of the metal base: one with the metal base in the middle and another with the metal base at the bottom.
Thermal conductivity measures the material's ability to transfer heat. In Aluminum or Copper base PCBs, the Thermal Dielectric Layer is the core factor, determining how efficiently heat moves from the component to the metal base.
The thermal conductivity of aluminum PCB or copper base PCB refers to how well the material can transfer heat from a heat source. It is usually measured in watts per meter Kelvin (W/mK) and commonly represented by symbols like k, λ, or K.
The board thickness represents the final thickness of the PCB after production, with an approximate error of 10% (+/-10% for T>=1mm or +/- 0.1mm for T<1mm). This error primarily stems from solder mask and copper sinking.
If you have specific thickness error requirements, kindly include them in the "Other Requirements" section.
Please specify if the solder mask is on the top or bottom layer.
The solder mask color refers to the color applied to the surface of the PCB.
Green and white are the available default colors for the solder mask. Selecting any other color will incur an additional fee.
In most cases, the silkscreen is printed in white on the PCB.
However, when using a white solder mask, the silkscreen is printed in black.
It's important to note that the white silkscreen may appear less distinct on a gray surface. It is not recommended to have a silkscreen on the bare aluminum surface.
Surface finish plays a crucial role in PCB production as it serves multiple purposes. Firstly, it acts as a protective layer to prevent copper oxidation, which could render the PCB non-functional. Secondly, it provides a smooth surface that facilitates the soldering of components onto the PCB.
HASL (Hot Air Solder Leveling) is a cost-effective surface finishing option that involves the application of a thin protective layer of tin/lead on the PCB.
ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) has emerged as the industry's preferred surface finish due to its advantages, including a flat surface, lead-free and RoHS compliance, extended shelf life, and the ability to maintain tighter tolerances for plated holes.
OSP(Organic Solderability Preservatives) is also known as anti-tarnish. It involves the formation of an organic protective layer on clean and bare copper through adsorption.
ENEPIG (Electroless Nickel Electroless Palladium Immersion Gold) is a surface finish similar to ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) in that both processes involve the deposition of electroless nickel on top of copper plating. The key distinction is that while ENIG has gold directly deposited on top of the nickel layer, ENEPIG incorporates an additional layer of palladium between the nickel and final gold layer.
Depth of gold coating on PCB surface.
Total gold and nickel coating depth on PCB.

The minimum width of the copper trace and the minimum spacing between two traces.
Our engineers will verify the minimum spacing.
The Minimum Hole Size refers to the smallest mechanical drill bit diameter used during manufacturing. For vias, this parameter directly impacts the Annular Ring width, which is essential for maintaining reliable electrical connectivity between layers.
Our engineers will verify the minimum hole size.
The copper weight, measured in ounces per square foot, determines the thickness of copper on the outer layers of the PCB.
ps: 1oz=35um
The copper weight refers to the amount of copper on the inner layers of multilayer PCBs.
Resin Plug + Plated Through Hole
Impedance Control ensures that high-speed signals travel along the trace without distortion. It is achieved by precisely controlling the trace width (W), copper thickness (T), and dielectric height (H).
The typical industry standard for impedance tolerance is ±10%.
If impedance requirements are documented but not selected when placing the order, it will be considered as disregarding the impedance requirement.
Gold Fingers are the hard gold-plated contacts used for edge-connectors (like RAM or PCIe slots). They are exclusively gold-plated when the ENIG surface finish is selected. However, if you choose the HASL surface finish, we will use HASL for the edge connector plating.
To ensure smooth insertion, the connector edge must be chamfered (beveled), typically at an angle of 30° or 45°.
To detect open and short circuit issues, testing will be conducted on all PCBs. A test rack will be provided for batch orders.
If you choose Yes, we'll email you the PCB production file, and production will proceed once you confirm. The lead time may be extended depending on the communication cycle.
Edge Plating involves plating the vertical edges of a PCB with copper. It provides EMI shielding, improves thermal dissipation, and ensures a robust chassis ground connection. This process wraps the copper from the top layer to the bottom, effectively sealing the board's dielectric core.
Carbon ink is created by coating the PCB substrate with carbon-based conductive ink, which is then cured to form a carbon film conductive pattern. It offers several benefits, including low cost, excellent impedance control, high reliability, and strong corrosion resistance.
Counterbore - A flat-bottomed hole used for socket head screws or hex bolts. Key feature: 90° shoulder.
Countersink - A conical hole used for countersunk (flat-head) screws to sit flush with the surface.
Peelable soldermask, also known as a peelable blue gel(pad), is primarily utilized for safeguarding the board's surface during production processes.
Press-fit holes are high-precision plated through-holes designed for solderless connections. Components with elastic "compliant pins" are pressed into the holes, creating a gas-tight, highly reliable mechanical and electrical bond.
Chamfering is the process of tapering the edge of the PCB connector. This beveled edge allows the gold fingers to slide smoothly into the connector slots (e.g., RAM or PCIe) without damaging the internal contacts.
We highly recommend choosing this option for PCBs used in automotive, military, or aerospace applications that demand high precision and reliability.
4-wire Kelvin testing is a methodology that utilizes high-resolution measurements to accurately detect small resistance changes. These measurements typically fall within the milliohm range, whereas standard electrical test measurements are in the ohm range. To efficiently identify hidden defects like hole integrity, a 4-wire Kelvin test is necessary.
Please choose the desired copper thickness for the holes you require.
Castellated holes are plated through holes cut in half on the PCB edge, commonly used for soldering daughter boards onto a main carrier board.
To include UL marking on the board, please select the appropriate layer where you would like to add.
Regular and precision CNC routing methods primarily differ in the alignment process and the number of routing passes.
In regular routing, the panel is secured at points outside individual PCBs, whereas precision routing utilizes alignment holes within each board for positioning.
Regular routing involves a single-pass process, whereas precision routing consists of a rough pass followed by a fine pass.
For example, for a PCB with dimensions of 100mm x 80mm:
PCBPath offers a service of inserting paper strips between PCBs to prevent scratches and maintain the quality of shipments.
