PCB Tech - Classification and characteristics of circuit board gold finger core board

The so-called circuit board gold finger refers to a row of equidistantly arranged square pads, exposed copper and gold-plated. It is mostly used for electrical connection pins for board cards, LCD connections, motherboards, chassis, etc., because the copper foil nickel-plated layer is plated with a thin layer of gold.

1. The definition and function of the gold finger core board of the PCB circuit board:
Golden Finger: (GoldFinger or EdgeConnector) Insert one end of the PCB circuit board into the connector card slot, and use the connector pin as the outlet of the circuit board to connect to the outside, so that the pad or copper skin is in contact with the pin at the corresponding position. To achieve the purpose of conduction, and plate this pad or copper on the PCB board with nickel and gold, because it is in the shape of a finger, it is called a gold finger. The reason why gold is selected is because of its superior conductivity and oxidation resistance. .But because of the extremely high cost of gold, it is only used for partial gilding such as gold fingers.
Gold Finger Core Board
Second, the classification and identification characteristics of the gold finger core board of the circuit board
The gold finger classification of the circuit board:
1. Conventional gold finger (flush finger);
2. Segmented cheats (intermittent cheats);
3. Long and short golden fingers (ie uneven golden fingers).
Gold finger circuit boards of different lengths
1. Conventional gold fingers (flush fingers): rectangular pads with the same length and width are arranged neatly on the edge of the board. The picture below shows: network cards, graphics cards and other types of physical objects, with more gold fingers. Some small boards have fewer gold fingers ;
2. Segmented golden fingers (intermittent golden fingers): rectangular pads with different lengths located on the edge of the board, and the front section is disconnected;
3. Long and short golden fingers (ie uneven golden fingers): rectangular pads with different lengths located on the edge of the board.
PCB circuit board gold finger recognition method
Features: No character frame and marking, conventional solder mask opening window. Most of the shapes have grooves. The gold finger partly protrudes from the edge of the board, or is close to the edge of the board. Some boards have gold fingers at both ends. Normal gold fingers are on both sides Yes, some PCB circuit boards have only single-sided gold fingers. Some circuit boards have a wide single gold finger.

Home entertainment host terminal products using the RK3399 platform have technological leadership in multiple display interfaces, GPU, audio and video decoding, interconnection with multiple terminals, and human-computer interaction.
The VR head-mounted display device using the RK3399 platform can achieve a delay of less than 20ms under the optimized algorithm, and can achieve a 90Hz refresh rate, 4K UHD decoding, and ultra-high-definition H.265/H.264 video resolution capabilities. Through the Type C or HDMI+USB interface, an external VR headset can bring an immersive virtual reality experience to the product.
Analysts believe that the chip, as the most upstream of the industry, has always had the mission of pioneering and leading the way. Rockchip RK3399 open interface and open source system are not only conducive to terminal equipment manufacturers to use a chip to achieve a global product line layout, to achieve rapid product, cost control, and technical application. Its open source system can also meet the needs of terminal manufacturers for product customization and differentiation, which in a true sense solves the pain points of the industry chain, and is of great value to the development of global intelligent hardware.
