High-Tg PCB

High-Temperature Stability for Advanced Electronics

What is a High-Tg PCB?

A High-Tg PCB is a printed circuit board with a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 170°C or higher, distinguishing it from standard FR-4 PCBs (Tg 130–140°C) and medium-Tg PCBs (150–160°C). Tg represents the temperature at which the substrate transitions from a rigid "glassy" state to a soft, rubbery state. High-Tg PCBs maintain mechanical strength, dimensional stability, and electrical performance at elevated temperatures, making them critical for applications with strict thermal requirements.

Key Technical Details

-Temperature Resistance: Operates reliably up to 130–150°C (20–25°C below Tg), ideal for lead-free soldering (reflow temperatures up to 260°C).
-Material Composition: Uses modified epoxy resins or ceramic-filled composites to enhance heat resistance.
-Tg Grades:
 + Standard FR-4: Tg 130–140°C
 +Medium-Tg: 150–160°C
 +High-Tg: ≥170°C (e.g., 170°C, 180°C, 200°C)

Here's a breakdown of our core servicesCore Advantages of High-Tg PCBs

Comprehensive Services Under One Roof

Superior Thermal Stability

Reduced Deformation: Maintains rigidity in high-temperature environments (e.g., automotive under-the-hood, industrial ovens).
Lead-Free Compliance: Withstands reflow soldering at 240–260°C, essential for RoHS-compliant manufacturing.

Fast and Reliable Turnaround

Enhanced Mechanical & Electrical Performance

Dimensional Accuracy: Low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) minimizes warping in multilayer designs.
PTH Reliability: Stronger via plating adhesion reduces risks of cracking in thermal cycles.

High-Quality Standards

Chemical & Moisture Resistance

High Humidity Stability: Lower water absorption (≤0.15%) compared to standard FR-4, preventing delamination in humid conditions.
Chemical Resistance: Resists degradation from fluxes, cleaning agents, and industrial chemicals.

Design Flexibility

Design Flexibility for Dense Circuits

Multilayer & HDI Compatibility: Supports compact, high-power-density layouts without thermal hotspots.
Hybrid Material Support: Combines with aluminum or ceramic cores for advanced thermal management.
