Printed Circuit Board Materials

What is PCB?

A printed circuit board (PCB) mechanically supports and electrically connects electronic components using conductive tracks, pads and other features etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate. Components are generally soldered on the PCB.-

Printed circuit boards are used in all but the simplest electronic products. They are also used in some electrical products, such as passive switch boxes.


The base pcb material (CCL-Copper Clad Laminate) is a composite material that composed of dielectric layer (Resin, glass fiber) and high-purity conductor (copper foil).

PCB Material Classification:

Classification according to reinforced materials (the most commonly way) a. Paper board(FR-1, FR-2, FR-3)

  • Epoxy Glass Cloth (FR-4, FR-5)
  • Composite board (CEM-1, CEM-3)
  • HDI board (RCC-Resin Coated Copper)
  • Special board (metal board, ceramic board, etc.)

Classification according to the different types of resin.

  • Epoxy resin
  • Polyester resin
  • PI resin (polyimide)

Classification according to flame retardant properties

  • Flame retardant (UL94-VO, UL94-V1)
  • Non-flame retardant (UL94-HB level)

The follow shows the very best that AlteraFlex can offer, but here the supply chain or sourcing options is limited and ensure quality this means that some uncommonly used materials are sometimes out of stock.


The yellow and red font represent that the materials are not regular preparation materials. We need to consult the materials supplier to affirm whether they are in stock. And some of them need to be purchased from abroad, the delivery time will be extended or even come to the situation of out of stock. Any questions, feel free to consult your sales representatives.
