5G Module PCBA & MCPCB for RF and Wireless Applications

5G Module PCBA and MCPCB

This 5G module PCBA service combines metal core PCB fabrication with SMT and DIP assembly for 5G, RF and wireless electronic products.

Aluminum and copper core PCBs are available for applications where thermal management is important. FR-4 and high-frequency PCB options are also supported for different circuit designs.

MCPCB for 5G Thermal Management

The MCPCB uses aluminum or copper cores to help spread heat from high-power components. The listed thermal conductivity is 1.0-3.0 W/mK for the insulated metal substrate.

This makes the board suitable for 5G modules, RF power amplifiers, power electronics and other applications where heat generated by active devices needs to be managed at the PCB level.

SMT and DIP Mixed Assembly

The manufacturing service supports SMT and DIP through-hole assembly in the same production flow. BGA assembly is also supported for compact and high-density designs.

The minimum listed component size is 0201, allowing the assembly process to accommodate small SMD components alongside connectors, through-hole parts and other larger components.

RF and High-Frequency PCB Support

5G and wireless products often require controlled impedance and suitable high-frequency materials.

The service supports impedance control of ±10% for RF and high-speed signals. Rogers, PTFE and other high-frequency laminates can also be used for 5G and RF designs.

Rapid Prototype PCBA

Rapid prototyping is available for both MCPCB and FR-4 boards. The listed prototype lead time is 3-7 working days.

This allows 5G module and RF product developers to produce engineering samples for design verification before moving to larger production quantities.

PCB Materials and Specifications

The service supports MCPCB, FR-4 and high-frequency PCB constructions. Aluminum and copper core boards can be selected according to thermal requirements, while high-frequency laminates are available for RF circuits.

Technical options include single-sided, double-sided and multilayer boards, with copper thickness from 1oz to 6oz. Surface finishes include HASL, ENIG, OSP and immersion silver.

Testing and Quality Control

Testing options include AOI, X-Ray, flying probe and functional testing. These inspection methods can be selected according to the PCB structure, component package and final product requirements.

The listed quality standards include ISO9001 and IPC-A-600 / IPC-6012.
