What Is A Wearable PCB?
It is abbreviated as a unique design of PCB that comes with few printed circuit board standards for the better working of the wearable networking market.
The compactness in the size and design of wearable PCBs have made them pretty common in the electrical industry.
They are mainly made up of the highest quality laminated sheets manufactured with fiber-reinforced epoxy resins.
There comes an insulating material between the layers of the wearable PCB that is known as prepreg.
Almost all devices integrated with the wearable board are highly reliable since they are made up of advanced and expensive materials.
One of the most distinguishing characteristics of wearable boards is their compact size. Thus, they are easily used in a wide range of smartwatches and smartphones.
The layered structuring in the wearable PCBs is higher and ranges up to four to eight layers in all wearable devices.
The excessive layering in the wearable PCBs has provided more ground and enough power planes to sandwich the routing layers of the wearable PCB.
The addition of the extra layers in wearable PCB plays the leading role in creating a low ripple effect. This impact yields to reduce the system noise virtually to zero.
A Wearable PCB
What Are The Applications Of Wearable PCB?
You can use wearable PCB in medical devices and wearables.
The primary reason for their use in medical devices is their smaller and lighter size with extended durability.
Other than this, the wearable PCB is mainly used in standard aerospace technology with a clear purpose. It displays operational data in the pilot’s visual field.
The Applications Of Wearable PCB
Another application for wearable PCB is their use in avionics because of their flexibility, reliability, and performance. The overall weight of the wearable PCB has made it perfect to use in a pilot’s helmet.
The hearing assist devices in the medical field also make the most of the wearable PCB. In addition to this, it provides a prominent range and resolution to all the hearing devices in the medical field.
The flex design of the wearable PCB has enabled all the engineers to mount their microphones DSP in a compact package that hangs behind their ear.
This allows the laser technology to provide power and signal to the micro-actuator and the photoreceptor in the background.
What are the Mechanical Constraints of Wearable PCB?
The potential mechanical constraints in the wearable PCB have made it pretty different from the standard electric devices.
The compatible size and the lightweight feature of the wearable PCB ensure everything about its functionality.
But choosing a lightweight and compact wearable PCB with all the demanded features is not an easy task.
Thus, some of the mechanical constraints that you need to keep in mind are listed as under:
- Optimizing the Position
Optimizing the position of the PCB components on its board is very important since it helps significantly in computing the PCB routes.
- Apply Manual Routing
For finding the perfect location of the components of PCB, make sure to use manual routing since auto-routing is not preferable for this task.
This is why most of the boards in the wearable PCBs have a rectangular shape that is much easier to encounter. The thin layers of the PCB are also easily distinguishable.
- Choose the Right Components
Another essential mechanical constraint that you need to look for in choosing the components of the wearable PCB.
In this case, I prefer choosing materials with reduced footprints and low-profile packages. This factor will minimize the thickness of the solution.
- Humidity Factor
When looking for the potential mechanical constraints in the wearable PCB, humidity is another essential factor to look for. It plays the leading role in damaging the functionality of electronic circuits.
Don’t forget this factor if the circuit you’re using has a high impedance. The majority of the PCBs are built to contact the human body, so moisture-proof nature must be ensured.
- No Insulated Components
Another mechanical constraint is to ensure that only those components are used to disperse in the electricity that is not adequately insulated.
Carelessness should be avoided in this factor since it can bring proximity to the user’s skin.
Design Process of Wearable PCB
How to Select the Material for Wearable PCB?
You should keep the following factors in mind while selecting the materials for wearable PCB.
- High Degree of Reliability
The material that you’re choosing for wearable PCB should have a high degree of reliability.
- High Speed and High Frequency
Another quality to note in the material of the wearable PCB is the high speed and the high-frequency signals. That is why many other advanced materials are used to make the wearable PCB other than FR4.
- Limited Power Losses
The material should have the quality of limited power losses when handling high-frequency signals. Thus, you should look for Rogers 4350.
- Reduced Production Cost
The production cost of the material must be low to manufacture the wearable PCB. That is why Rogers is used instead of FR4 to ensure the reduced production cost.
- Stable Coefficient of Thermal Expansion
The material of the wearable PCB must come with a stable coefficient of thermal expansion so that it can withstand high degrees of temperature.
You can approach PCBMay since they’re considered the best suppliers for wearable PCBs made up of materials with all characteristics mentioned above.
Material for Wearable PCB
What is the Design Process of Wearable PCB?
The design of the wearable PCB comprises microstrip lines, suspended strip lines, and coplanar waveguides.
All these connections in the design process of the wearable PCB come with the ability to suppress the rising noise of all the RF systems.
During the design process of wearable PCB, the bypass filters, decoupling capacitors, and ground planes are used.
The use of the bypass filters dramatically reduces the ripples produced by the working noise. In addition to this, it also decreases the crosstalk phenomena.
The decoupling capacitor is placed near the power lines during the design process of the wearable PCB.
The design process of the PCBMay ensure the proper working of wearable PCB while maintaining the quality.
What are the Design Challenges of Wearable PCB?
Some of the design challenges of wearable PCB are given as under:
- Board Material
All materials used in the construction of wearable PCB are not limited to traditional materials. That is why they need professionals to operate them.
- Power
The primary source of power for wearable PCBs is batteries since they are small in size. Thus, another challenge is to bring low power consumption with efficient delivery.
- Size and Shape
The primary difference between the standard and wearable PCB is its size. Thus, the manufacturers have to maintain the right size and the proper shape of the wearable PCB.
- Connectivity to Devices
Another design challenge of the wearable PCB is its connectivity through Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Thus, you’ll have to find a space on the board to install the connectivity modules.
- Antenna Design
A body-based challenge for the wearable PCB is the design of its antenna. All engineers must have to look for the signal strength while considering the antenna design.
- Humidity
Another design challenge of the wearable PCB to overcome is the humidity. That is why the engineers check the device for its ability to deal with moisture conditions.
Design Challenges of Wearable PCB
Why Are Flex PCBs Used in Medical Devices and Wearables?
The primary reason for using flex PCBs in medical devices and wearables is their enhanced flexing ability.
The contraction and expansion of the flex PCBs have made them be used in almost all medical devices.
The flexing property is also responsible for hanging the flex PCBs with hinged devices.
Thus, the advent of flex PCBs has made medical devices more compact, durable, and flexible than before.
What are the Manufacturing Problems in Wearable Device PCB Design?
Some essential manufacturing problems in wearable device PCB design include:
- Impedance Control

- Dielectric Constant Tolerance
The maintenance of the dielectric constant tolerance is also a manufacturing problem of wearable PCB. It is maintained at +2%, also some products with +1%.
- Cost
Some manufacturers also face cost-effective problems while constructing the wearable PCB. Thus, it is preferred to use Rogers since it provides high stack performance along with low cost.
- Dielectric Loss
To eliminate the excessive dielectric loss, FR4 material is used to lower the potential dielectric losses since its dielectric constant has a wide frequency range.
- Thermal Expansion Coefficient
The maintenance of the thermal expansion coefficient is assured using the Rogers 4000 series because they have exceptional dimensional stability.
- Hybrid Stack
Rogers series is mainly used with the high-performance FR4 to eliminate the chances of a hybrid stack. It helps to reach the productive manufacturing yield.
PCBMay is one of those Chinese manufacturers that produce wearable PCBs without going through manufacturing problems.
