Brief Introduction
The 4-layer TU-872 HDI PCB is constructed from low dielectric constant/dissipation factor (DK/DF) FR-4 material, specifically the TU-872 SLK Sp. This PCB is designed with four copper layers, each measuring 1 oz, and features a coating of immersion gold along with a green solder mask. The final thickness of the PCB is 1.6mm ± 10%. Each panel consists of 16 pieces and incorporates a high-density interconnect (HDI) configuration, which includes blind vias from the top side to inner layer 1 and buried vias connecting inner layer 1 to inner layer 2. These boards are fabricated according to IPC-Class-2 standards and are vacuum packed for shipment.

The thermal properties of the resin system are defined by the glass transition temperature (Tg), measured in degrees Celsius (°C). The Tg indicates the temperature at which the material transitions from a rigid, glassy state to a soft, rubbery state. For common epoxy resins (FR-4 grade), the Tg typically ranges from 115 to 130°C. Exceeding this temperature during soldering can cause the PCB to expand in the Z-axis direction, which may stress the copper walls of plated-through holes. The thermal expansion of epoxy resin is approximately 15 to 20 times greater than that of copper above Tg, leading to a risk of cracking in the hole walls. Below Tg, the expansion ratio is only three times, significantly reducing the risk of cracking.
PCBs with a Tg of 170°C or higher are classified as high Tg PCBs, while those with a Tg above 130°C are generally considered standard.
