High Tg Printed Circuit Boards (Tg >= 170°C – 210°C)

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.

Key Features

 

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.

Heavy Copper Compatibility

Co-laminate capability up to 3 oz outer / 4 oz inner layers combined with thermal relief cavity milling.

FAQ

 

Q: Do you require customer-specified laminate brands (e.g., Isola 370HR), or do you use equivalents?

A: We stock both specified brand laminates (Isola, Shengyi) and qualified IPC-4101/126 equivalent regional stock. If your AVL restricts laminate cross-substitutions, note the brand lock on your PO; otherwise, material grade is certified per spec sheet.

Q: What is the lead-time impact for High Tg material vs standard FR-4?

A: Zero lead-time adder for standard stackups utilizing stocked Tg 170°C sheets. Non-standard thicknesses (< 0.6 mm or > 2.4 mm) require 2 – 3 additional days for core allocation.

Q: How do you control bow and twist on heavy-copper High Tg multi-layer boards?

A: Copper distribution balancing on inner layers and symmetrical prepreg symmetrical press layups. Post-press hot-flattening fixture applied for aspect ratios exceeding IPC Class 3 limits.

Q: Can High Tg material be processed with standard lead-free SAC305 profile?

A: Yes. Tg >= 170°C materials tolerate peak reflow 260°C for 30 – 40 seconds standard 6-reflow thermal budget windows.
