What is BS EN 61249-2-26 - Materials for printed boards about?
BS EN 61249-2-26 is an international standard that discusses materials for printed boards and other interconnecting structures.
BS EN 61249-2-26 gives requirements for properties of non-halogenated epoxide nonwoven/ woven reinforced E-glass laminated sheets of defined flammability (vertical burning test), copper-clad in thicknesses of 0,80 mm up to 1,60 mm.
The flammability rating is achieved using non-halogenated inorganic and/or organic compounds acting as fire retardants. These fire retardants are contained as part of a polymeric structure or in addition to it. The glass transition temperature is defined to be 95 °C minimum.
Who is BS EN 61249-2-26 - Materials for printed boards for?
BS EN 61249-2-26 on materials for printed boards and other interconnecting structures is useful for:
- Manufacturers of printed circuit boards (PCBs)
- Manufacturers of electronic components and interconnecting structures
- Manufacturers and suppliers of laminate sheets
- Quality control and testing personnel
- Inspection authorities
Why should you use BS EN 61249-2-26 - Materials for printed boards?
The Printed Circuit Board (PCB) is essential in all electronic devices, whether they are used for residential or industrial applications. In a multi-processor context, the interconnection arrangement can determine total system performance.
BS EN 61249-2-26 covers the best industry guidance on materials and construction, reference standards’ test methods to verify electrical properties along with their requirements, and non-electrical properties of the copper-clad laminate. It covers reference test methods that help in the verification of the properties such as flexural strength, flammability, and measling.
Compliance with requirements and tests provided by BS EN 61249-2-26 can thus demonstrate the reliability, quality, and performance of materials for printed boards and interconnecting structures.
