[0035] In the manufacturing process, first plastic layer 2 and second plastic layer 5 are activated and divided in the area needing conduction locally through laser engraving treatment to form electroplating layer. The laser engraving activation and division technology can ensure the accurate conduction between circuit layer and external electroplating layer, avoid the unstable signal transmission problem caused by wire welding or single-sided PCB board connection mode, and improve the stability and consistency of signal. Meanwhile, the method can also reduce internal wiring, so that the overall structure is more compact.

[0036] PCB board 1 adopts a multilayer structure, and signal circuit layers are distributed on different layers, so that circuit wiring is more optimized, and signal path is shorter, thereby reducing signal loss and improving transmission efficiency.
