Could anyone tell me the difference in PCB material Nelco13 and FR4? PCB dielectric material Nelco13 is quite new for me and I knew nothing about it. For imcoming quality control (IQC), I am asked to identify PCB made of FR4 and Nelco13. How to do th

Nelco was developed by Park [ http://www.parknelco.com/parknelco/highspeed.htm ] Without fairly involved testing, you may be forced to rely on a c of c from your fabricator. Although, Park may be able to give you a lead.

You're correct that the FR4 is probably the best choise. The majority of the problems in developing your reflow recipe is going to come from the CTE mismatches in the CCBGA , CBGA and PBGA that you put on the board. The other side says given the pr

according to the ressult of cross-section and removing the component, I find there is no black area in the left pad, and the IMC is also normal, so the black nickle is less impossible. the PCB material is not common FR4, just some thing like ceramic,

Hi I see David F already gave a good answer. The basic advantage, if you can afford it, is a more stable PCB during the soldering process. Higher Tg enables this. Also some materials serve to match CTEs (coefficient of thermal expansion) a bit bett

You indicate that PBBs and PBDEs are included in FR4 materials!! Does this include PCB (Printed Circuit Boards)??

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

Over time, you might see problems with delam., blistering and warpage if using FR4 carriers. Depending on volumes, you might consider using durostone or some robust material like that for the production runs. Keep in mind that switching materials w

JD: It's important to note that FR-4 does not contain PBB or PBDE. The bromine in FR-4 epoxy comes in the form of tetra-bromo-bisphenol A [TBBA], which polymerizes and become part of the cross-linked epoxy. Bromine, in the form of hydrogen bromide, i
