Designed exclusively for premium smartwatches, this 8-layer rigid-flex PCB combines FR4 rigid boards with FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) technology, delivering high-density routing, bend resistance, lightweight construction, and ultra-thin profiles.
Product Overview
Designed exclusively for premium smartwatches, this 8-layer rigid-flex PCB combines FR4 rigid boards with FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) technology, delivering high-density routing, bend resistance, lightweight construction, and ultra-thin profiles. Featuring ENIG (Electroless Nickel Immersion Gold) surface treatment and precision circuitry, it ensures stable signal transmission and soldering reliability, ideal for multi-functional integration in smartwatch sensors, displays, charging modules, and more.
Product Features
1. 8-Layer High-Density Interconnect
Supports complex layouts for multi-sensor systems, Bluetooth/WiFi modules, and battery management with high-speed signal integrity.
2. Hybrid FR4+FPC Construction
Rigid sections provide mechanical stability, while flexible zones conform to curved watch designs, enhancing durability and space efficiency.
3. ENIG Surface Finish
Superior oxidation resistance and flat solder pads ensure high yield for micro BGA/QFN components and gold wire bonding compatibility.
4. Ultra-Precise Circuitry
0.26mm minimum line width/spacing enables high-precision impedance control, minimizing signal loss and crosstalk.
5. Black Solder Mask + White Silkscreen
UV-resistant black solder mask paired with crisp white silkscreen improves assembly accuracy and aesthetic appeal.
