If yes, then we will discuss all the <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/pcb-lamination\/\">PCB lamination<\/a> options currently on the market will be covered in this blog post.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We will tell you the benefits and drawbacks of each option and help you select the best one for your task. Read on to find out more about PCB laminates, whether you&#8217;re just starting out in engineering.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By applying heat and pressure, a <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/prepreg-pcb\/\">prepreg<\/a> sheet is bonded to the PCB to create a laminate. PCB laminate sheet and copper foil are usually laminated together by first being heated and then subjected to pressure on both sides. These printed circuit board laminates are called <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/cheap-aluminum-pcb\/\">copper-clad laminates<\/a> (CCL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The material of a PCB laminate and bonding materials are crucial to the fabrication qualities, longevity, and performance of the board. Several PCB laminate materials are now in use. The most common materials, however, are <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/fr4\/\">FR4<\/a>, High glass transition (Tg) Epoxy, Bismaleimide Triazine (BT) Epoxy, and <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/polyimide-pcb\/\">Polyimide<\/a>. Making the PCBs application-centric and efficiently begins with the material selection. The properties such as thermal, mechanical, or chemical of PCB laminate materials are discussed in this post for your benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-layout-1 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/contact\/\"><strong>Request PCB Laminate and PCB Manufacturing  Quote Now<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_a_PCB_Laminate\"><\/span><strong>What is a PCB Laminate?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Your PCB manufacturer&#8217;s design and development process will benefit greatly from your knowledge of the many lamination options for printed <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/circuit-boards\/\">circuit boards<\/a>. The reliability and functionality of your PCB will depend on the laminate you use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What keeps the PCB&#8217;s laminated layers together is the board itself. Typically, a circuit board will have four layers: the substrate, copper, solders mask, and silkscreen (from bottom to top). To achieve a consistent laminate thickness, the fabric is cured in a pressurized oven with a thermoset resin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"543\" src=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pcb-laminate-1024x543.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-26524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pcb-laminate-1024x543.png 1024w, https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pcb-laminate-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pcb-laminate-768x407.png 768w, https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/pcb-laminate.png 1072w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Laminates are commonly identified by the following notation: FR-4. This laminate has the qualities indicated by the numbers and letters above. Fire resistance, tensile strength, transition temperature, and thickness variation with temperature are all crucial features (the Z-axis expansion coefficient).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below is a list, in order of frequency of occurrence, of the various PCB laminates and the PCB materials required for each. The resin used to make the laminate gives it its name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_FR-4\"><\/span><strong>\u00b7&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>FR-4<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of its high performance across the board, FR-4 is the most used laminate. This material retains its mechanical characteristics, excellent electrical properties, and physical qualities even when heated, and it has a high strength-to-weight ratio and is flame resistant, both of which boost its dependability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_FR-4_High-performance\"><\/span><strong>\u00b7&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>FR-4 <\/strong><strong>High-performance<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When working with multiple <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/pcb-layers\/\">PCB layers<\/a>, you should use a high-performance FR-4 laminate. Due to its low dielectric characteristics and high TG, it is well-suited to high-frequency circuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Tg_%E2%80%93_High_glass_transition_Epoxy\"><\/span><strong>\u00b7&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Tg &#8211; High glass transition Epoxy<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The High Tg Epoxy is the best choice for multilayer PCBs. Similar to the melting point, the Tg is known as the vitrification temperature. A greater value makes for a stiffer board. Heat and chemical resistance, as well as greater stability, characterize materials with TGs above 170 \u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_BT_%E2%80%93_Bismaleimide_Triazine_Epoxy\"><\/span><strong>\u00b7&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>BT &#8211; Bismaleimide Triazine Epoxy<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to lead-free <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/multilayer-flex-circuits\/\">printed circuit boards<\/a>, the BT Epoxy laminate is your best bet due to its exceptional thermal, mechanical, and electrical qualities. Most multilayer PCBs use this laminate. The binding will also remain strong even when heated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Polyimide\"><\/span><strong>\u00b7&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Polyimide<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Extreme environmental stability is produced by this sort of laminate. When working with multilayer PCBs,<a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/why-you-need-quick-turn-rigid-flex-pcb-for-your-pcb-project\/\"> rigid-flex circuit boards<\/a>, or high-density flexible circuit boards, Polyimide laminate is the material of choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thermal, chemical and mechanical qualities it generates are likewise exceptionally high. Military, <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/aerospace-pcb-assembly\/\">aerospace<\/a>, automotive, and consumer electronics are just some of the cutting-edge fields where polyimide laminates shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_CCL_%E2%80%93_Copper_Clad\"><\/span><strong>\u00b7&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>CCL &#8211; Copper Clad<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Reinforcing material in <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/copper-clad-pcb\/\">Copper Clad<\/a> laminate can be either glass fiber or wood pulp paper. Considerations like size, shape, electrical, physical, chemical, and environmental performance lead most people to choose a CCL laminate for high-voltage circuits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"%C2%B7_Teflon\"><\/span><strong>\u00b7&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>Teflon<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/hillmancurtis.com\/immersion-gold-for-pcb\/\">gold standard<\/a> for use in radio and television transmissions.
