The Power of 370HR Exploring High-Reliability PCBs for Critical Applications
1.Introduction to 370HR
Isola's 370HR is a high-performance 180°C glass transition temperature (Tg) FR-4 system for multilayer Printed Circuit Board (PCB) applications. It's manufactured with a unique high-performance multifunctional epoxy resin, reinforced with electrical grade (E-glass) glass fabric. The system is also laser fluorescing and UV blocking for maximum compatibility with Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems, optical positioning systems, and photoimageable solder mask imaging. 370HR has proven to be best in class for sequential lamination designs.
