Common Mistakes When Specifying CCL & How to Avoid Them
- Too low Tg / poor thermal specification → Boards get distorted / fail under heat.
- Ignoring copper foil type (ED vs RA etc.), solderability, peel strength.
- Picking wrong thickness — too thin for current, too thick for flex or fine pitch.
- Over-spec’ing high frequency lamination when not needed (cost waste).
- Neglecting environmental / regulatory compliance → product delays, rejection.
- Poor supplier vetting → batch variation, delayed delivery, quality issues.
- Advice: Always ask for datasheets, sample boards, test reports; do small batch / prototype first; define all parameters clearly (thickness, copper weight, Tg, finish, Dk etc.)
How Chetumax Sales and MM Enterprise assist you in choosing according to your needs:
- Expertise in sourcing different types of CCL.
- Help customers pick the correct spec.
- Transparent quoting with explanation of material, copper weight, finish, etc, along with the option of importing at Chinese FOB price and if you want, we can import under your company name too.
- Access to top-notch Chinese suppliers, with quality checks and certificates from SGS, RoHS so you don’t get surprises.

- Circuit boards should be rigorously compatible with, a PCB layout created by the designer using PCB design software. Commonly-used PCB design software includes Altium Designer, OrCAD, Pads, KiCad, Eagle etc. NOTE: Before PCB fabrication, designers should inform their contract manufacturer about the PCB design software version used to design the circuit since it helps avoid issues caused by discrepancies.
- Once the PCB design is approved for production, designers export the design into format their manufacturers support. The PCB industry birthed extended Gerber as the perfect output format. Different PCB design software possibly calls for different Gerber file generation steps, they all encode comprehensive vital information including copper tracking layers, drill drawing, apertures, component notations and other options.
