Our professional manufacturing delivers high-quality, reliable solutions for vehicle monitoring, asset tracking, and personal safety applications.

Key Features:

• High-precision positioning: Multi-mode GPS/GLONASS/BeiDou chips with 2.5m CEP accuracy
• Low-power design: Optimized power management with standby current as low as 5μA
• Robust construction: FR-4 high-Tg materials (-40℃ to +85℃ operating range)
• Compact size: 25×25mm achievable through multilayer stacking
• Rich interfaces: UART, I2C, SPI, USB for seamless integration

1.Substrate: FR-4 high-Tg (≥170℃) for thermal stability, Rogers RO4350B for RF circuits (εr=3.48, tanδ=0.0037)

2.Copper foil: Reverse-treated foil (Rz 3-5μm) with 1oz standard thickness (2oz for high-current paths)

3.Surface finishes:

• ENIG (0.05-0.15μm Au) for high reliability
• Immersion Silver for cost-effective solutions
• OSP for rapid production
• Hard gold plating for connectors

• Multilayer lamination: 4-8 layer sequential build-up with ≤50μm layer alignment
• Drilling: UV laser (0.1-0.15mm micro-vias) + mechanical drilling (0.2mm bits at 180Krpm)
• Circuit patterning: LDI for 25μm line/space, alkaline etching (50±2℃)
• Solder mask: LPI (15-25μm) with 6H hardness after curing

• Thermal cycling (-40℃~+85℃, 100 cycles)
• Humidity (85℃/85%RH, 96hrs)
• Vibration (10-500Hz, 3-axis)

Quality Assurance

• AOI (99.5% defect detection)
• SPI (CPK>1.67 for solder paste)
• Flying probe electrical testing
• Functional GPS signal simulation

• Design review (SI/PI/EMC analysis)
• Flexible production (prototype to 500K/month)
• Application-specific solutions:
• Automotive (AEC-Q100 compliant
• Industrial (conformal coating options)
• Wearables (rigid-flex designs)

FAQ Highlights
