6. 2 FORMATS & PANEL LAYOUT
2.1 Panel layout
In order to make optimum use of the available surface area, it is recommended to design multiple printed panels,
especially for small formats. Allowing for the specifications described below and the usable area defined in section
2.2, there are manifold possibilities to design multiple printed panels. Here are some suggestions:

Scored edges
No spacing is required between the individual PCBs allowing for a greater usable
area on the PCB.
2-side milling/scoring
In the scoring direction, the usable area of the PCB is larger than with 4-side
milling. Allow for a spacing of 10 mm from milled edges.

18 layers
stackups can be fabricated using the core materials and
prepreg types listed in 1.1 “Multilayer and microvia boards”.

copper foils where possible. The minimum thickness of the
prepreg films shall be the thickness of the inner copper foil
+ 50 µm. In the following, the standard stackups for 4, 6 and
8 layers are specified which will be used unless specific
customer requirements for stackups are available.

21. 4.7.3 Technological information on rigid-flex PCBs
Processing recommendations
• General information:
Rigid-flex polyimide printed circuit boards can be
both hand and machine soldered. The industrial
engineering methods generally used for rigid boards,
such as infrared, convection or vapor phase
soldering, can also be applied to rigid- flex circuits.
• Polyimide films are highly hygroscopic:
A dried polyimide film will again reach its original
moisture saturation level (up to 3 % max.) after only a
few hours. For this reason, it is absolutely vital to bake
(dry) the printed circuit boards prior to soldering.
• Possible errors when baking is omitted:
Failures due to delamination, blistering, tearing, etc.
during soldering caused by the high moisture content
of the poly-imide.
• Recommendation for baking:
Bake (dry) rigid-flex circuits for about 2 hours at 110
°C to 120 °C in a convection oven prior to soldering.
Rigid-flex circuits should be assembled within 6 to 8
hours after baking and stored at a maximum humidity
of 50 % until they are used.
Application guidelines
1.Approximate values for bending radii with cover
layer on flex area
Bending radii with one copper layer in flex
area: Min. radius = thickness of flex area x
5 (corresponds to ≥ 1 mm)
Bending radii with two copper layers in flex
area: Min. radius = thickness of flex area x
10 (corresponds to ≥ 3 mm)
When the flex area is covered with a cover
layer, the copper is in the “neutral zone” which
results in a very good bending behavior.

22. 4.8 Controlled impedance PCBs
Controlled impedance circuits (high speed applications)
can be realized with different engineering methods
regarding layer stackup and board design.
Impedance values are strongly influenced by the dielectric
thickness as well as line width and length. Permittivity and

copper thickness are less significant. For differential
structures (two parallel lines), the spacing between the
line tracks is critical. In addition, the thickness of the
solder mask and the permittivity of the masking material
have an effect (in so- called “micro striplines”).

Substrate thickness Track width Permittivity Track height
In the following, four different stackup possibilities of con-trolled
impedance PCBs are shown. For unsymmetrical stack-ups
(single ended line), impedance values of approx. 50-70 Ω are
normal. For differential stackups (two parallel line tracks),
calculated impedance values amount to approx. 90-110 Ω.
Due to manufacturing tolerances, a tolerance of ± 10%
on the calculated impedance value is allowed as
technical standard.
The following drawings show the parameters which
are required for a theoretical calculation (see next
page for the legend).

27. 5.1 Solder mask design for vias on chemical surfaces
Solder mask shall be kept away from plated through-
holes to obtain a clean, metallized defect-free hole (Fig.
1). It pre-vents liquid entry of process chemicals as well
as long-term corrosion through copper corrosion.
Covering the via with solder mask prior to surface finishing
would result in an undefined condition in the hole (Fig. 2).
Closing the hole on one side with a via filler after surface
finishing will ensure a technically faultless hole wall.

38. Current-carrying capacity
The stackup of layers is decisive for the current-
carrying capacity of a copper wire. Its current-carrying
capacity, for example, doubles if two massive inner
layers without intrinsic heating are positioned below.
The geometrical design is also decisive. A wire of 0.5
x 2.0 mm, e.g., can carry higher
current than a wire of 1.0 x 1.0 mm, both having the
same cross-sectional size.
The reason is the larger surface of the 0.5 x 2.0 mm
wire resulting in a better heat dissipation through the
surrounding board material (FR4, solder mask, etc.).

39. 9 PACKAGING METHODS
To grant the highest quality of the PCBs, humidity should be kept under control both during storage and
shipping. Therefore, PCBs shall be packaged under vacuum, including desiccant material and a humidity
indicator card (HIC). PCBs shall be packaged in a barrier material that meets the requirements of IPC-
1601/JEDEC J-STD-033.
Please apply the following updated rules to all the goods shipped, by every shipping method (air, sea,
ground etc), both for fast productions/sampling and mass productions, must follow this packaging guidelines
otherwise it will not be accepted, leading to a non conformity.
1) All PCBs or panels will have to be packaged inside a vacuum bag, materials shall meet the J-STD-
033 requirements, such as:
1. Nylon/ Foil/ Polyethylene - outer layer of ESD nylon, aluminum foil middle layer and an inner layer of
polyethylene – Example material is 3M Dri-Shield Moisture Barrier 3400.
2. Tyvek / Foil / Polyethylene – Outer layer of Tyvek with aluminum foil middle layer and an inner layer of
polyethylene.
3. Aluminized Polyester / polyethylene - acceptable material when used with the proper thickness material.
Material thickness > 0.18mm (0.007 in) thick.
The bag shall be heat sealed to keep out moisture. Leave enough excess material to allow for a minimum of
(1) resealing of the moisture barrier bag to facilitate incoming inspection.
Full air evacuation is not required or recommended as excessive air evacuation can impede the barrier
performance of the packaging material due to punctures and can also degrade the effectiveness of the
desiccant. Full air evacuation may be used when boards are shipped as loose pieces to avoid damage from
shifting and abrasion;
2) Desiccant material, such as silica gel, and humidity indicator (HIC) must be included in every bag.
Desiccant material quantity and quality used in the internal packaging shall be in accordance with IPC-
1601/JEDEC J-STD-033 and shall be sulfur free.
The desiccant materials shall be placed on the edges of the PCB, to avoid potential board warping if
packages are stacked within the shipping carton. This placement also will prevent any interaction between
the desiccant and the soldering finish surfaces.
The HIC shall be packaged inside the outer moisture barrier bag along with the desiccant.
The HIC will serve as an aid in determining the exposure to moisture to which the PCBs have been subject
during storage and shipping. Please refer to the image below:
3) A sticker listing part number, data code and number of PCBs included must be labeled on the bag,
please refer to the sample picture below;

Notes
4) If previously agreed with Tekube, when the shipping includes panels with x-out or some reworked
boards (on solder mask, on copper side etc. etc.), these goods will have to be clearly identifiable, packaged in
a separate box and marked on the outside of the box;
5) The box must also be labelled on the outside (on two sides in case one label gets unreadable) using
the same label of point 3 above;
6) The box has to be filled up in order to avoid vacuum bag moving, colliding while being handled and
shipped;
7) Polystyrene and cardboard paper are not allowed to fill up the boxes;
8) A maximum of 25 panels can be packaged inside a vacuum Bag. In the special case of PCB with
peelable mask needs, the limit is lowered to 15 panels per vacuum bag;
9) All the boxes must be made up of 3 layers cardboard, if this is not possible, supplier must to notify
TEKUBE quality department before shipping;
10) Only for Aluminum PCBs, upon special request from customer, vacuum bag must to contain paper-
sheet between the PCBs and/or wood panels, on both sides, to grant more rigidity;
11) When multiple boxes are shipped, particularly on a pallet, a maximum of 5 (five) boxes can be piled up
to avoid deformation of the boxes and potential damages to the goods.
