What is an HDI PCB? High Density Interconnect (HDI) Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) are advanced circuit boards that feature finer lines and spaces (<100 μm), smaller vias (<150 μm), and higher connection pad density than conventional PCBs. This enables HDI PCBs to pack a lot of functionality into a small […]

What is HDI PCB Design? HDI PCB design is a type of printed circuit board design that incorporates high-density interconnects, allowing for a greater number of components to be placed on a smaller board area. This is achieved through the use of smaller vias, finer trace widths, and multiple layers. […]
