Current IssueIn Pursuit of Perfection: Defect Reduction
For bare PCB board fabrication, defect reduction is a critical aspect of a company's bottom line profitability. In this issue, we examine how imaging, etching, and plating processes can provide information and insight into reducing defects and increasing yields.
Voices of the Industry
We take the pulse of the PCB industry by sharing insights from leading fabricators and suppliers in this month's issue. We've gathered their thoughts on the new U.S. administration, spending, the war in Ukraine, and their most pressing needs. It’s an eye-opening and enlightening look behind the curtain.
The Essential Guide to Surface Finishes
We go back to basics this month with a recount of a little history, and look forward to addressing the many challenges that high density, high frequency, adhesion, SI, and corrosion concerns for harsh environments bring to the fore. We compare and contrast surface finishes by type and application, take a hard look at the many iterations of gold plating, and address palladium as a surface finish.

Shengyi Technology Obtains UL Listing for FR-4 Grade S1190M
June 15, 2017 | Shengyi TechnologyEstimated reading time: 1 minute

Shengyi Technology Company Ltd. is pleased to announce that their FR-4 product, S1190M, has been listed by UL with an electrical and mechanical Relative Thermal Index (RTI) of 150°C. Recently UL changed the definition of FR-4 to allow already listed FR-4.0 and FR-4.1 to be used in PWBs operating up to 150°C if the Long Term Thermal Aging (LTTA) data passed the electrical and mechanical requirements.
Shengyi is the first base material supplier world-wide to have a FR-15.0 product listed with an electrical and mechanical Relative Thermal Index (RTI) of 150°C. That product, S1190M, is a brominated epoxy system with a Tg of 200°C and a Td of 355°C designed for lead-free processing. S1170G was the first halogen-free product to be listed as FR-15.1 with a Tg and Td of 180°C and 390°C respectively. Both products exhibit high thermal reliability and excellent CAF resistance which allows them to be used for communication, computer and automotive applications.
S1190M products are listed in Shengyi’s UL File # E109769 as an ANSI Grade FR-15.0. FR-15.0 indicates that it is a brominated FR-4 product with an RTI of 150°C.
Board designers can feel more comfortable knowing that S1190M can be used at higher temperatures than for traditional FR-4s. Other current FR-4 products will also be listed as FR-15 in the Shengyi UL file as customer requirements dictate.
