What is a high-Tg PCB? What are the advantages of using high Tg PCBs? When the temperature of a high Tg printed circuit board rises to a certain range, the substrate transitions from a ‘glass state’ to a ‘rubber state,’ and this temperature is referred to as the board’s glass transition temperature (Tg). In other
What is 94v-0 on a pcb? The 94v-0 standard is a standard set for the combustion characteristics of plastic materials in electronic and electrical products.
