FR-4, is a widely acceptable international grade desination for fiberglass reinforced epoxy laminated that are flame retardant (self extinguishing). After add copper layer on one or each side FR4, it become to Copper Clad Laminate (CCL), and this is the non-conductive core materail for normal printed cricuit board (PCB). Printed circuit board using FR4 as core material will be named as "FR4 PCB". PCB is used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper clad laminate substrate. Sometimes, PCB also named Printed Wiring Board (PWB) or etching wiring board if no extra electronic components was added on. |
Classification of FR4 Printed Circuit Board |
According to number of copper trace layers, FR4 printed circuit board is normally divided into following types:
In fact, for board more than four layers, people will named it "Multi-layer PCB". According to that standard, there're only three types of PCB: Single, Double and Multi-layers. If divide the board according to manufacturing technology, major based on hole diamter size, it'll divid into two types:
According to copper thickness, it can be divided into
According to core material, it can be divided into
According to Tg value of FR4, it can be divided into
According to radio frequency (RF) level of PCB, it can be divided into
According to board thickness, it can be divided into

In a word, according to different standard, FR4 PCB can be divided into different classfication. Please click here for immediate quotation online Please contact us for more information about the FR4 Printed Circuits |
