Engineering considerations

IATF 16949 process control

The Huizhou base operates to IATF 16949, certificate 120342-2012-AQ-RGC-IATF, with a registered scope covering the automotive electronics supply chain. PPAP, FAI and process-audit support are agreed at project kickoff, per the written quality plan.

Power and thermal construction

Powertrain and lighting modules commonly use heavy-copper and metal-core constructions to spread heat. Copper weights above 12 oz are available (16 oz and 18 oz already in production), and aluminum-base boards run to 1500 mm on the long edge. Thermal conductivity and construction are reviewed against actual device dissipation.

Compact interconnect and flexible construction

Where sensor and control modules are constrained by space or assembly routing, HDI or rigid-flex constructions apply. HDI supports 5+N+5 (anylayer), and rigid-flex is engineering-confirmed to a maximum of 20 layers. Bend radius and bend cycles are reviewed per construction.

Impedance and signal integrity

Vehicle buses and high-speed links need controlled impedance. Impedance is controlled to ±5%. Test method and report format are confirmed at quotation.

Applicable board types

The board types below most often enter review for automotive projects, separated by thermal path, interconnect density and structural flexibility. Final selection depends on device layout, dissipation and assembly method.

• HDI PCB
• Rigid-Flex PCB
• Heavy Copper PCB
• Metal Core PCB
• Aluminum PCB

Frequently asked questions

Do you hold automotive industry certification?

Yes. The group's Huizhou production base holds IATF 16949 automotive quality management certification, certificate number 120342-2012-AQ-RGC-IATF, with a registered scope covering the quality management system for the automotive electronics supply chain. ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 are also held. Please state at enquiry if production under that system is required so scheduling can be confirmed.

Can you support PPAP and process audits?

Yes. PPAP submission level, first article inspection (FAI), process capability data and audit support are agreed separately at project kickoff, per the quality plan confirmed in writing. Standard deliverables include a certificate of conformance (COC), material certifications and lot records, impedance test reports, microsection analysis reports and electrical test records.

Which base produces automotive orders?

The IATF 16949 certificate is held by the Huizhou production base, so automotive projects that must run under that system are scheduled there. The group also operates the Ji'an base, certified to ISO 13485:2016 for medical devices (scope: circuit boards for ventilators). Combined monthly capacity across both sites is 160,000 m² (Huizhou 60,000 m²; Ji'an Phase 1 100,000 m²).
