The conventional vertical/orthogonal PCB board-to-board connector in the current industry has the inherent defects of (1) large high-frequency dielectric loss, poor impedance continuity, obvious parasitic parameters, obvious high-speed and radio frequency signal degradation, (2) large mismatch between the Z-axis thermal expansion coefficient of a PCB base material and a metal circuit, easy occurrence of coating fatigue, cracking and unstable contact at high and low temperatures, 3) contact conduction by virtue of a contact pin, abrasion, contact resistance drift and vibration reliability risks, (4) large control difficulty of electroplating uniformity of a three-dimensional deep cavity structure, large difference between internal and external thicknesses, limited yield and consistency, and (5) low overall integration level, multiple assembly links and unfavorable high-density miniaturization design. The traditional PCB board-to-board connector and the vertical pin type connection have obvious bottlenecks in the scenes of the radio frequency power amplifier and the chip module. In addition, the current three-dimensional circuit processing technology and substitutes have the following defects: (1) The traditional water electroplating commonly adopts laser to divide the circuit after full plating, easily causes side wall damage, burrs and impedance dispersion, and deep cavity and fine line region uniformity are poor, and the process is complicated, is unfavorable for accurate three-dimensional spare stable production in batches. (2) The full chemical plating process has the advantages of low deposition speed, long production period, high comprehensive production cost, lower plating density and conductivity than the electroplating process, and limited signal and reliability under the high-frequency and high-reliability requirements. (3) Part of laser activation forming process depends on modified base materials added with special laser active fillers, raw materials are limited in selection and high in cost, and the binding force and long-term temperature-resistant circulating reliability of a coating still have defects under severe working conditions.
