IoT
Consumer & IoT PCB CAM
Circuit boards for everyday smart gadgets and connected home devices, made in huge quantities at low cost while staying small and reliable.
Small, low-cost boards that hit aggressive price points without sacrificing yield or RF performance.
Consumer and IoT products live and die on cost, size, and time-to-market. The CAM job is to squeeze density and yield out of the cheapest process that still meets performance — the opposite optimization from aerospace.
Density on a budget
IoT nodes pack a wireless SoC, antenna, sensors, and power into a tiny footprint. HDI with microvias enables the breakout, but every build-up layer adds cost, so we design the minimum HDI structure that routes cleanly.
| Product | CAM priority |
|---|---|
| Wearable | Size, rigid-flex, battery keep-out |
| Smart-home | Cost, volume yield |
| Sensor node | RF antenna, low power |
| Audio/video | Signal integrity, EMI |
RF and antenna
Most IoT boards carry an integrated antenna (BLE, Wi-Fi, LoRa). We respect antenna keep-outs, ground-plane clearances, and the controlled-impedance feed line so radio performance is not compromised by careless CAM edits.
Cost and volume
- Yield-first panelization — maximizing boards per panel drives unit cost at scale.
- Finish selection — ENIG for fine-pitch and flatness, or lead-free HASL where cost dominates and pitch allows.
- Standard stackups — favoring common material sets the fab keeps in stock.
We optimize for the total landed cost at volume, not just the bare-board quote, and keep the DFM tuned to a low-cost, high-yield fab process.
