It is a PCB material that has a woven glass / epoxy internal core and glass veil surface. It is in between the paper materials (FR1,FR2 and CEM1) and FR-4 as far as strength and cost. It is available in HiCTI material for high power applications.

Hi fotis, Big difference between Cem3 & FR4 is that FR4 the glass is woven and Cem3 is sheet glass non-woven. for Multi layer product, i would not consider Cem3 due to increase chance of de-lam due to lack of weave for strength. Cem1 and Cem3 are

HI Please Advice witch material can stand more heat FR4 or CEM3. PCB assembly will be used under the body of toaster Temp. range 90°C Could anyone tell me the difference in PCB material For imcoming quality control. Thanks & regards Fotis

At 400C, I'd worry about the solder as well....

Thanks My mistake on the previous post is that the Temperature will be way beyond 90C maybe reach to 400c as the PCB will be placed under the Heating plate of the sandwich maker! So my concern is the heating tolerance! Appreciated your knowledge b

I would be concerned with either material at that temp. i would re-post your question on one of the engineering forums below. http://www.eng-tips.com/ http://www.electronic-circuits-diagrams.com/forum/ Regards, Boardhouse

You should do some testing what temp you really get. Solder will melt 260~300ºC. Back to the initial question, CEM-3 is a bit harder to buy and has not many varieties. Go for FR4, you can go for a higher Tg then the common 130ºC. There is also 140,

| We are considering adding surface mount components to a board we currently produce. The board is made from CEM-1. Has anyone had any problems with surface mounting to this material? We use a glue/place/cure process. | | Thanks in advance, | |
