The dielectic absorption characteristic of printed circuit board materials is usually not listed on the manufacturers spec. sheets. Can anyone point me in a direction to help determine which laminate materials might exhibit better dielectric absorpt

Hi! Stu's method is a half-truth. What it measures is the aggregate of all volatile material with a significant vapour pressure at the baking temperature, not just H2O. Short of very complex methods, it could be complemented by a comparitive measur

We process no Teflon boards. Companies, such as Rogers and Taconic, make laminates of Polytetrafluoroethylene [PTFE] er �Teflon�. Common �Teflon� laminates are: * Woven glass / PTFE * Random microfiber glass / PTFE * Ceramic / PTFE * Woven glass /

Soldering PTFE boards * Exposure to the high temperatures needed for solder reflow poses no problem of loss of peel strength since the exposure times are relatively short. * There are many different types of PTFE based products that may perform diff

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,

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

Marc: In printed circuit board fabrication, fabricators place sheets of prepreg between each pair of glass cores. They stack these layers into books. As they heat and press the books, the sheet melts into an epoxy glue. The thickness of the prepr

I didn't wade thru all of the info you presented above, but your comment about ampacity of printed circuit boards brought to mind a copy of an article I keep in my files. Luckily I photocopied the whole page from the magazine and can actually tell y
