When fabricating PCBs for high temperature applications, the glass transition temperature of PCB is extremely important to consider. If the temperature in the application exceeds the “Tg” value, it leads to issues related to the board’s performance. Not only can the rise in temperature lead to the material expanding, with different materials having different thermal expansion coefficients, there will also be mechanical stress leading to micro cracks. While some of these could be detected during electrical testing, some may go unnoticed, leading to failure of the product and costing you, well-earned reputation.
At Technotronix, we specialize in High Tg PCBs (high temperature printed circuit boards) that offer heat resistance. Made of FR-4 substrate material, they are widely used across industries as they provide better heat resistance, as well as mechanical and chemical stability for the board.
We offer high Tg printed circuit boards that offer flawless performance in high temperature applications. With over 4 decades of experience in the industry, we are armed with the following capabilities:

Tg refers to the glass transition temperature of a Printed Circuit Board. It is that temperature at which the base material of a PCB starts to change from a brittle condition to a soft, elastic one, thereby impacting performance. A PCB whose glass transition temperature (Tg) is greater than 170 ℃ & is known as a High Tg PCB.
They are resistant to high temperatures, have long delamination durability among other things.
If the temperature in the application exceeds the “Tg” value, it leads to issues related to the board’s performance. With different materials having different thermal expansion coefficients, there will be mechanical stress leading to micro cracks. Thus, you need to go with a manufacturer who has the necessary experience and expertise in fabricating these boards.
