Engineering-grade thermal resistance for high-load, multi-reflow power and industrial hardware.
High Tg PCBs utilize modified epoxy resin systems with a glass transition temperature Tg >= 170°C (IPC-4101/126, /99 or equivalent high-performance specs). At temperatures exceeding Tg, standard FR-4 (Tg approx. 135°C – 140°C) shifts from a rigid glassy state to a rubbery state, accelerating Z-axis expansion and mechanical shear stress on plated-through holes (PTH). High Tg variants suppress Z-CTE (alpha_1: 45 – 50 ppm/°C; alpha_2: 220 – 250 ppm/°C) and elevate thermal decomposition threshold (Td >= 340°C).
Available Stackups: 1 to 24 layers (Rigid)
Standard Laminate Brands Stocked: Isola 370HR, Shengyi S1000-2, Panasonic R-1755 (or equivalent regional high-reliability equivalent upon BOM freeze)
Typical Z-axis expansion mitigation: Minimized barrel cracking through controlled drill-feed and direct metallization ratio >= 25 um copper wall thickness.
Engineering Support: Free stackup recommendation & DfM sign-off before tooling.

Elevated Thermal Fatigue Resistance
Sustains > 1000 thermal cycles (-40°C to +125°C operational envelope) without barrel fatigue in heavy-copper power distributions.
Low Moisture-Induced Delamination
Modified dual-functional/multifunctional epoxy matrix prevents moisture-flash blistering during sequential lead-free reflow (260°C peak profile).
Controlled Impedance Tolerance
Dielectric constant (Dk = 4.2 – 4.4 at 1 GHz) tightly batch-controlled via resin-content verification (+/- 1.5%), supporting high-speed gate driver signals alongside power planes.
