FR4 (FR = Flame Retardent ) is a glass fiber epoxy laminate. It is the most commonly used PCB material. 1.60 mm (0.062inch). FR4 uses 8 layers glass fiber material. The maximum ambient temperature is between 120 degree and 130 degree, depending on thickness.


In China FR4 is the most widely used PCB base material, next is FR1 then FR2. But FR1 and FR2 are usually used for single layer PCBs because they are not good for passing through holes. FR3 is not recommended to building multi-layer PCBs. FR4 is the best selection. FR4 is widely used because it is good to make from single layer to multi-layer PCBs. With only FR4, PCB companies can make all kinds of PCBs, which leaves the management and quality control much easier, and eventually it can reduce the cost!

FR4 PCB-3

FR1 is basically the same as FR2. FR1 has a higher TG of 130 degree instead of 105 degree for FR2. Some laminate manufacturers who produce FR1 may not produce FR2 since the cost and usage are similar and it is not cost effective to have both. FR3 is also basically FR2. But instead of phenolic resin it uses an epoxy resin binder.

It is obvious that FR4 is the best selection to make PCBs in market. Some materials may be cheaper but it can only be used to make one-layer boards, and the reliability of the boards made by these materials is not good. So they are only used for single layer and very simple boards.
