IPC-4101E Specification for Base Materials for Rigid and Multilayer Printed Cards

IPC-4101E Specification for Base Materials for Rigid and Multilayer Printed Cards

In the IPC-4101E standard published by the Printed Circuits Institute (IPC), a trade association established to standardize the assembly and manufacturing requirements of electronic equipment and assemblies, it will mainly be used in rigid or multilayer printed boards for electrical and electronic circuits, where laminate or prepreg The requirements of the basic materials, referred to as

IPC-4101E Specification for Base Materials for Rigid and Multilayer Printed Cards

Classification under this standard defines coated and uncoated laminate or prepreg base materials within the framework of the system shown below.

The example for laminate base materials to which this standard is referenced is as follows:

  • L: Material identifier
  • 25: Specification page number
  • 1500: Nominal laminate thickness
  • C1 / C1: Metal coating type and nominal weight / thickness
  • A: Thickness tolerance class
  • A: Surface quality class

The example for prepreg base materials to which this standard is referenced is as follows:

  • P: Material identifier
  • 25: Specification page number
  • E7628: Retrofit style
  • TW: Resin content method
  • RE: Flow parameter method
  • VC: Optional prepreg method

A set of specification sheets is included at the end of this standard. These pages summarize both laminate and prepreg requirements for each product class. These pages are arranged according to a certain reinforcement type, resin system or construction and the order is provided with this page number. For convenience, laminate and prepreg requirements for materials of similar composition are on the same specification sheet.

The material identifier “L” indicates the laminate material and “P” indicates the pre-impregnated material. When certifying multiple property pages, the strongest performance requirements apply.

The headings of each specification sheet contain reference definitions for the material, including the reinforcements used, resin systems, flame retardants and fillers, as well as other known definitions and glass transition temperature. These are the requirements that the material must meet in order to be certified against this specification.

Among the numerous tests, measurements, analyses, and evaluations our organization provides for businesses in various sectors, we also offer testing services for basic materials for rigid and multi-layered printed cards under the IPC-4101E standard, with our trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment.
