BS EN 61249-2-8:2003

What is BS EN 61249-2-8 - Modified brominated epoxide woven fibreglass reinforced laminated sheets about?  

BS EN 61249-2-8 is the second part of a multi-series standard used for materials for printed boards and other interconnecting structures. This helps in manufacturing good quality modified brominated epoxide woven fibreglass reinforced laminated sheets used in printed boards and other interconnecting structures.  

BS EN 61249-2-8 gives requirements for properties of modified brominated epoxide woven E-glass reinforced laminate sheets of defined flammability (vertical burning test), copper-clad in thicknesses of 0,05 mm up to 3,2 mm. The flammability rating is achieved through the use of brominated fire, retardants reacted as part of the epoxide polymeric structure. The glass transition temperature is defined as being between 150 °C and 190 °C. Some property requirements may have several classes of performance. The class desired needs to be specified on the purchase order, otherwise, the default class of material may be supplied. 

Who is BS EN 61249-2-8 - Modified brominated epoxide woven fibreglass reinforced laminated sheets for? 

BS EN 61249-2-8 on Modified brominated epoxide woven fibreglass reinforced laminated sheets is useful for: 

• Aerospace   
• Manufacturer of aircrafts  
• Manufacturer of electronic components  
• Manufacturer of automotive parts   
• Electronic engineer 

Why should you use BS EN 61249-2-8 - Modified brominated epoxide woven fibreglass reinforced laminated sheets?  

Printed circuit boards (PCBs) are used to mechanically support and electrically connect electronic components. These components are connected by using conductive pathways, tracks or signal traces etched from copper sheets laminated onto a non-conductive substrate.   

BS EN 61249-2-8 specifies the materials that can be used in constructing these printed circuit boards according to their operational requirements. This helps in determining the electrical properties of clad and unclad materials used in printed boards. With the help of these non-electric properties of the copper-clad laminate, you can avoid the defects that directly impact the materials which are to be used in the manufacturing process.   

By applying BS EN 61249-2-8, you can ensure the sustainability of these printed boards in different climatic conditions. This helps in standardizing the manufacturing process which results in producing good quality modified brominated epoxide woven fibreglass reinforced laminated sheets used in printed boards and other interconnecting structures.
