FR4 vs Polymide | 13 May, 1998

Does the temp. profiles used to reflow double sided pcb's through a IR oven on FR4 board material have to be re-established if it is changed to polyimide? Boards will be baked out prior to assembly. any response would be most appreciated.

There is no difference provided your reflow system is of a modern convection type. One thing to be careful about is how well, or how much cure has been effected with polyimide. It will delaminate if very high Tg's are required. If the Tg is specified at about 250 C., there will be few problems. If a full cure of 270 degrees is effected many problems may occur. Earl Moon
