I focus on using advanced materials and technologies for these multi-layer rigid-flex PCBs. Each board combines flexible and rigid layers to meet the demands of solar applications. Here is a quick overview of the main materials I use:

I also use several key technologies:

• HDI (High-Density Interconnect) for compact circuit layouts.
• Blind and buried vias to connect layers efficiently.
• Via-in-pad technology to increase density.
• Sequential lamination for precise multi-layer construction.

These features help me deliver PCBs that support high performance and reliability in solar products.
