JOVE / SHENZHEN ZHONGFU CIRCUITS

Start with the electrical and mechanical job.

Jove is the brand of 深圳中富电路股份有限公司, the Shenzhen-listed PCB manufacturer identified as stock 300814 in its 2025 annual-report summary. Its portfolio includes multilayer, rigid-flex, HDI, metal-base and RF antenna boards. The useful distinction for a buyer is the manufacturing route: a moving flex connection, a power conversion stack and an antenna interface need different drawings, copper rules and acceptance tests.

The photographs below are original official product-family images. They show the families Jove presents; the technical tables describe process ranges rather than measured specifications of the pictured boards. The quoted figures remain attached to their source column, copper condition and hole definition.

RIGID-FLEX / RELEASE THE BEND REGION

One assembly, two mechanical environments.

Original Jove rigid-flex product-family photograph
Official rigid-flex product-family image. Layer count, copper and bending life of this pictured board are not specified.

The overview describes total constructions of 2–24 layers with a 1–6-layer flex region, symmetric or asymmetric flex-layer arrangements and possible dynamic-bend designs. The distinction matters: total board layers are not flex-region layers, and a rigid section’s copper schedule cannot simply continue through the bend.

First detailed table / sample column
Maximum 18 layers
First detailed table / volume column
Maximum 24 layers
Outer 3 oz routing / both columns
8 / 11 mil line / space
Inner 2 oz routing / both columns
6 / 5.5 mil line / space

The headline’s 40/40 µm statement is a separate fine-line claim. The detailed table conditions inner-layer routing on copper: at ⅓ oz it lists 2/2 mil sample and 1.5/1.5 mil volume, while outer ⅓ oz routing is 3/3 mil in both columns. These entries cannot be combined with 3 oz outer copper to quote an exceptionally fine, heavy-copper bend.

Keep the second table identifiable

The page repeats the Chinese heading “rigid-flex technical parameters” above a second table containing coverlay, reinforcement, air-gap and laser/punch-outline entries. That table lists 6 sample / 8 volume layers, coverlay registration ±0.15 / ±0.10 mm and reinforcement registration ±0.20 / ±0.15 mm. Preserve its identity when asking engineering which table applies to your flex construction; do not replace the overview’s 1–6 flex-layer range with the larger table value without confirmation.

Release the rigid-to-flex boundary, adhesive/adhesiveless laminate choice, copper orientation, coverlay openings, stiffener drawing and connector mating thickness. For repeated movement, state bend radius, travel, duty cycles, temperature and how an assembled test coupon will represent the actual installation. The site mentions UL-qualified laminate combinations, but does not provide a file number on this page; an order still needs the applicable holder, construction and file scope.

MULTILAYER / COPPER AND THE VOLUME TRANSITION

The 34-layer headline includes a sample route.

Jove’s multilayer page describes energy products, planar transformers, embedded passives and copper-block thermal constructions. Its detailed table explicitly separates volume production from samples. That distinction is more useful for qualification than the single maximum-layer headline.

For a power converter or planar transformer, give winding topology, layer copper, dielectric insulation, terminal connections and the required isolation test. The table lists testing voltage maxima of 6,000 V DC / 5,000 V AC for volume and 10,000 V DC / AC for samples. Those are factory test-capability entries, not the working-voltage or safety rating of a delivered design; agree test duration, ramp, leakage criterion, coupon and applicable insulation requirements.

Back-drilling has its own conditions: volume diameter 0.4–1.0 mm with D+0.2 mm enlargement; sample diameter 0.4–6.35 mm with D+0.15 mm. Listed stub ranges are 0.05–0.25 mm volume and 0.05–0.20 mm sample. Release the reference plane, target layer, residual-stub measurement and protected layers together. The page’s general ±8% impedance headline differs from the detailed table’s ±10% volume / ±7% sample for differential impedance and single-ended targets ≥50 Ω. Use the negotiated order specification.

HDI / STRUCTURE BEFORE A MINIMUM NUMBER

Specify how the microvia reaches its target.

Original Jove HDI PCB family photograph
Original HDI catalogue-family photo. The picture does not identify a particular build-up or measured laser-hole diameter.

The narrative supports 1+N+1 through any-layer HDI and mentions 14-layer any-layer functionality. The detailed chart has two identically labelled “specific capability” columns. It gives 4–24 versus 4–34 layers, up to five versus six lamination cycles, and first-column 1-N-1 / 2-N-2 / 3-N-3 versus second-column 4-N-4 and ELIC (12L) in addition. These columns are not labelled volume and sample. Ask Jove to identify the applicable process class rather than assigning the best values to all production.

Minimum inner line / space
50 / 50 µm · 40 / 40 µm
Minimum outer line / space
60 / 60 µm · 50 / 50 µm
Laser-hole entries
75 µm · 50 µm
Filled-laser-hole aspect ratio
≤0.8:1 · ≤1:1

Keep the left/right entries separate. The process-specific inner-line rows also pair “1.4 mil” with “40 µm” and “1.2 mil” with “35 µm”; the published unit pairs are not exact conversions. Ask engineering to issue one controlling dimensional unit. Minimum mechanical-drill entries of 0.20 and 0.15 mm are drill-bit dimensions, not finished plated holes.

Send the build-up drawing, stacked or staggered via arrangement, dielectric thickness by lamination, target lands and the required fill/cap construction. Request the microsection and reliability acceptance relevant to that construction. The overview mentions plated copper or copper-paste filling and thermal-management options; it does not establish that every fill route, embedded copper and finest routing can be made simultaneously.

RF ANTENNA / GEOMETRY, MATERIAL AND PIM

Antenna manufacture needs its own release sheet.

Official antenna-family photo. No frequency, laminate grade or PIM result is inferred from its appearance.

Jove lists phase-shifter, sliding-contact, divider, calibration and other base-station antenna boards. The standard column covers single/double/three-layer boards and 0.2–2 mm thickness; the advanced column lists four, six and seven-or-more layers with 2–6 mm thickness. Its narrative separately describes delivered seven-layer 5G antenna boards. Treat that historical example and the general column as different scopes.

The table reports average PIM thresholds ≤−115 dBm (158 dBc) standard and ≤−117 dBm (160 dBc) advanced. These units are not interchangeable without the carrier conditions. Include carrier frequencies and powers, order of intermodulation, fixture, connectors, calibration, contact condition and acceptance statistic. They are process-chart claims, not an attached test report for the photographed board.

The material list includes Shengyi PTFE and PPE systems, Rogers RO4730G3 and other supplier grades. One multilayer row places RO4730G3+RO4450F and NYHP7300+NY6300 under a single supplier label; verify each laminate/bonding-sheet manufacturer and grade separately. Obtain the actual lot trace and stack-up. Standard/advanced thicknesses, maximum lengths and test bands do not establish a fully qualified combination for your antenna.

SITE SELECTION / A DATED MANUFACTURING RECORD

Name the plant on the engineering release.

The company introduction names Shajing and Songgang in Shenzhen and Hecheng in Heshan, Jiangmen, while still describing a planned Thai base. A newer original investor-relations record, dated 7 May 2026, discusses orders entering the Thailand factory and a stronger AI-power focus at Jiangmen. The older introduction therefore does not describe the full newer operating picture. Ask for the proposed fabrication entity, plant and route on the quotation; the global sales map mixes offices, agents and factories.

Before a quotation

Identify rigid-flex, HDI, power or antenna manufacture; send the actual stack, copper conditions, dimensions and quantity. Ask which published table and column governs the build.

Before qualification

Agree sample-to-volume changes, fabrication site, approved material list and certificate holder/scope. The quality page’s management programmes do not substitute for a current scoped certificate.

Before shipment

Request the drawing revision, netlist test, applicable impedance/PIM/isolation results, hole and microsection records, material lots and approved deviations belonging to this batch.

The official contact page separates business enquiries from investor relations and supplier procurement. A sales-office address is not automatically the manufacturing location. Keep the factory assignment and engineering contact in the PCBVerified RFQ conversation alongside the returned DFM and acceptance record.
