What Is FR4 Substrate Material? FR4, also written as FR-4, is both a name and a standard rating. The name is applied to the fiberglass-reinforced epoxy-laminated sheets used in printed circuit board manufacturing. However, the name also functions as

Dr. Lee, Given the higher reflow temperatures for Pb-Free assembly, will common FR4 laminate materials be adequate, or do you believe that higher glass content boards will be required for mainstream Pb-free assembly? As a corollary question - if man

rush316 First, no one stated that PBB and/or PCBE are in FR4. FR4 contain tetra-bromo-bisphenol A [TBBA]. Second, there are classes [and grades] of dielectric materials used in fabricating printed circuit boards. Grades, NEMA LI-1. From these gr

Causes of Delamination ["Quality Assessment of Printed Circuit Boards" Lund, Preben; Bishop Graphics 1985 0137450354] The reason for delamination is epoxy starvation in the glass cloth layers or an incomplete curing of the base material. It has been

Mike: I�d hate to see you making design decisions, based solely on the discussion here, but that this would be an impetus to consult IPC-D-279, "Design Guidelines ... " and take a course on designing reliable boards. Werner Engelmaier (Engelmaier

In describing a bare board, you need to talk about base, laminate, and conductive materials. Common laminate materials are: * Glass fabric * Cotton fabric * Paper Common NEMA grades of technical laminates are: * Glass Fabric Grades: G3, G7, G10,

CEM 1 is a laminate base board material. The other boards in the experiment were manufactured using FR4 as the base board material. What I'm leaning towards is that the glass transition temperature "Tg". What do you think? Topside temperatures in
