Materials for printed boards and other interconnecting structures -- Part 2-10: Reinforced base materials, clad and unclad - Cyanate ester, brominated epoxide, modified or unmodified, woven E-glass reinforced laminated sheets of defined flammability (vertical burning test), copper-clad

Gives requirements for properties of cyanate ester, brominated epoxide modified or unmodified woven E-glass laminate sheets of defined flammability, copper-clad, in thicknesses of 0,05 mm to 3,2 mm. The flammability rating is achieved through the use of brominated fire retardants contained as an integral part of the epoxide polymeric structure.

FOREWORD
1) The IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of the IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, the IEC publishes International Standards. Their preparation is
entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with may
participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. The IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two
organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of the IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an
international consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation
from all interested National Committees.
3) The documents produced have the form of recommendations for international use and are published in the form
of standards, technical specifications, technical reports or guides and they are accepted by the National
Committees in that sense.
4) In order to promote international unification, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC International
Standards transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional standards. Any
divergence between the IEC Standard and the corresponding national or regional standard shall be clearly
indicated in the latter.
5) The IEC provides no marking procedure to indicate its approval and cannot be rendered responsible for any
equipment declared to be in conformity with one of its standards.
6) Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject
of patent rights. The IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
International Standard IEC 61249-2-10 has been prepared by IEC technical committee 91:
Electronics assembly technology.

Part 2-10: Reinforced base materials clad and unclad –
Cyanate ester, brominated epoxide, modified or unmodified, woven
E-glass reinforced laminated sheets of defined flammability
(vertical burning test), copper-clad
1 Scope
This part of IEC 61249 gives requirements for properties of cyanate ester, brominated epoxide
modified or unmodified woven E-glass laminate sheets of defined flammability (vertical burning
test), copper-clad, in thicknesses of 0,05 mm to 3,2 mm. The flammability rating is achieved
through the use of brominated fire retardants contained as an integral part of the epoxide
polymeric structure. The glass transition temperature is defined to be 160 °C minimum.
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.

6 Non-electrical properties of the copper-clad laminate
6.1 Appearance of the copper-clad sheet
The copper-clad face shall be substantially free from defects that may have an impact on the
material’s fitness for use for the intended purpose.
For the following specific defects the requirements given shall apply when inspection is made
in accordance with IEC 61189-2, Method 2M18.
6.1.1 Indentations (pits and dents)
The size of an indentation, usually the length, shall be determined and given a point value to be
used as a measure of quality.
Size Point value
mm for each indentation
0,13 – 0,25 1
0,26 – 0,50 2
0,51 – 0,75 4
0,76 – 1,00 7
Over 1,00 30
The total point count for any 300 mm × 300 mm area shall be calculated in order to determine
the indentation class.
Class A: 29 maximum
Class B: 17 maximum
Class C: 5 maximum
Class D: 0
Class X: to be agreed upon by user and supplier
The required indentation class of material shall be specified in the purchase order. Indentation
Class A applies unless otherwise specified.
6.1.2 Wrinkles
There shall be no wrinkles on the copper surface.
6.1.3 Scratches
Scratches deeper than 10 µm or 20 % of the nominal thickness of the foil, whichever is lower,
are not permitted.
Scratches with a depth less than 5 % of the nominal thickness of the foil shall not be counted
unless this depth is 10 µm or more.
Scratches with a depth between 5 % and 20 % of the nominal thickness of the foil are
permitted to a total length of 100 mm for a 300 mm × 300 mm area.

---------------------- Page: 12 ----------------------

61249-2-10 © IEC:2003 – 17 –
6.1.4 Raised areas
Raised areas are usually impressions caused by defects in the press plates used during
manufacture but may also be caused by blisters or inclusion of foreign particles under the foil.
Raised areas caused by blisters or inclusions are not permitted.
Raised areas being impressions of defects in press plates are permitted to the following extent:
Class A and X material: maximum height 15 µm and maximum length 15 mm;
Class B and C material: maximum height 8 µm and maximum length 15 mm;
Class D material: maximum height 5 µm and maximum length 15 mm.
6.1.5 Surface waviness
When examined in accordance to test method 2M12 of IEC 61189-2, the surface waviness in
both the machine and cross-machine direction shall not exceed 7 µm.
6.2 Appearance of the unclad face
The unclad face of a single-sided clad sheet shall have the natural appearance resulting from
the curing process. Small irregularities in colour are permitted. The gloss of the unclad face
shall be that given by the press plate, release film, or release foil used. Variations of gloss due
to the impact of pressure of gases released during the curing are permitted.
6.3 Laminate thickness
The laminate thickness may be ordered to include or exclude the copper foil contribution as
specified in the purchase order. As a general rule, laminates less than 0,8 mm are measured
excluding copper, and laminates greater or equal to 0,8 mm are measured including copper. If
the copper-clad laminate is tested in accordance with test method 2D01 of IEC 61189-2, the
thickness shall not depart from the nominal thickness by more than the appropriate value
shown in Table 2. The fine tolerances shall apply unless the other tolerances are ordered.

The thicknesses and tolerances do not apply to the outer 25 mm of the trimmed sheet or the
outer 13 mm of the cut panel as manufactured and delivered by the supplier. At no point shall
the thickness vary from the nominal by a value greater than 125 % of the specified tolerance.
6.4 Bow and twist
When the copper-clad laminate is tested in accordance with test method 2M01of IEC 61189-2,
the bow and twist shall not exceed the values given in Table 3.

copper foil with a normal profile depth. In the case of low or very low profile copper foil, the
requirements shall be at least 50 % of that shown in Table 4 as a minimum.
