High Tg Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Built on 1.6mm TU-872 SLK Sp (Low DK FR-4) With Immersion Gold

(Printed Circuit Boards are custom-made products, the picture and parameters shown are just for reference)

Brief Introduction

This is a type of low DK/DF FR-4 PCB which is built on TU-872 SLK Sp material. It is made on 4 layers copper with 1oz each layer, coating immersion gold and green solder mask. Final finished thickness is 1.6mm +/- 10%. A panel consists of 16 pieces.

Typical Applications

1. Radio Frequency

2. Backpanel, High performance computing

3. Line cards, Storage

4. Servers, Telecom, Base station

5. Office Routers

PCB Specifications

High Tg PCB

The thermal properties of the resin system are characterized by the glass transition temperature (Tg), which always is expressed in °C. The most commonly used property is the thermal expansion. When measuring the expansion versus the temperature, we can get a curve as shown in following picture. The Tg is determined by the intersection of the tangents of the flat and steep parts of the expansion curve. Below the glass transition temperature, the epoxy resin is rigid and glassy. When the glass transition temperature is exceeded, it changes to a soft and rubbery state.

For the most commonly used types of epoxy resin (FR-4 grade), the glass transition temperature is in the range 115-130°C, so when the board is soldered, the glass transition temperature is easily exceeded. The board expands in the Z-axis direction and stresses the copper of the hole wall. The expansion of epoxy resin is about 15 to 20 times greater than that of copper when exceeding Tg. This implies a certain risk of wall cracking in plated-through holes, and the more resin around the hole wall, the greater risk. Below the glass transition temperature, the expansion ratio between epoxy and copper is only three times, so here the risk of cracking is negligible.

The Tg of general board is above 130 celsius degrees, high Tg is generally greater than 170 celsius degrees, medium Tg is about greater than 150 celsius degrees.

PCB boards with Tg ≥ 170 ° C are usually called high Tg PCBs.
