IS420

Lead Free Epoxy Laminate and Prepreg

IS420 is a high performance 170°C glass transition temperature (Tg) FR-4 system for multilayer Printed Wiring Board (PWB) applications where maximum thermal performance and reliability are required.

Thermal Performance

Tg: 170°C
Td: 350°C

Electrical Performance

Dk: 4.04
Df: 0.021

Industry Approvals

IPC-4101 /98 /99 /101 /126
UL - File Number E41625

IS420 laminate and prepreg products are manufactured with a unique high performance multifunctional epoxy resin, reinforced with electrical grade (E-glass) glass fabric. This system provides improved thermal performance and low expansion rates in comparison to traditional FR-4 while retaining FR-4 processability.

In addition to this superior thermal performance, the mechanical, chemical and moisture resistance properties all equal or exceed the performance of traditional FR-4 materials. The IS420 system is also laser fluorescing and UV blocking for maximum compatibility with Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) systems, optical positioning systems and photoimagable solder mask imaging.
