Christopher Young, President of Young Engineering Services, discussed the common aerospace circuit board design challenges and ways to overcome them at PCB West 2023. Highlights: Choose materials such as FR408 and 370HR for aerospace designs. Aerospace PCBs often have layer counts ranging from 12 to 22 layers. IPC-2220 series and IPC-6612 provide guidelines for aerospace applications. Closely couple ground planes with power planes within approximately 4 mil spacing to solve electromagnetic issues.
