Our PCB Fabrication Methods
At Redstar Worldwide, we use the following printed circuit board fabrication processes to meet our customers’ high standards:
- Standard rigid core builds, fabricated from FR-4 composite made of woven fiberglass cloth with epoxy resin binder that is self-extinguishing and flame resistant.
- Metal core builds for improved thermal management, offering better heat dissipation and cooling capabilities that prevent safety hazards and premature component failures.
- HDI rigid builds that feature high-density interconnect technology to enhance PCB functionality with the same or less space. This means more components can be incorporated on each side of a PCB through advanced via processes and technologies for faster signal transmission, reduced crossing delays, and reduced signal loss.
- Flex and rigid-flex builds, designed using flexible substrates designed in a three-dimensional area for greater spatial efficiency.
- Hybrid PCB builds that combine technologies to deliver the precision performance our customers require from their printed circuit board products.
We utilize standard materials in the creation of printed circuit board products, as well as RF, high-speed digital, low loss, and flexible interconnect to deliver the precision options our customers desire. Furthermore, we are dedicated to continuous improvement and constantly refine our fabrication processes to deliver the tightest tolerances available for your PCB design. Our tolerance capabilities include:
- Trace/space tolerance: +/- 10%
- Drill position tolerance: +/- 0.4mil
- Drill size tolerance: +/- 10%
- Impedance control: +/- 5%
- Flex-to-Rigid registration: +/- 3mil
We also offer specialized coatings for printed circuit boards, including:
- Hard gold
- Wire bonding
- ENEPIG
- EPIG
- ENEG
Redstar Worldwide takes your PCBs from prototyping to production as quickly as possible so we can deliver the products you need with minimal wait times. We offer quick turn prototyping services with typical lead times at two days. Our production lead times range between five-to-20 days.
Our inspection process involves 100% electrical testing, first article of inspection reports, inspection reports, and certificates of conformity.
