Abstract

These test methods establish the standard procedures for testing copper-clad laminates produced from fiber-reinforced thermosetting polymeric materials intended for fabrication of printed wiring boards. The properties that these test methods shall examine are as follows: dielectric breakdown voltage parallel to laminations; dimensional instability; dissipation factor; flammability rating; flatwise flexural strength at room and elevated temperatures; behavior during oven blister test; peel strength at room and elevated temperatures; permittivity; pin holes and scratches in copper surface; purity of copper; behavior upong solder float test; solvent resistance; surface and volume resistivity; thickness; warp or twist; and water absorption.

This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.

1. Scope

1.1 These test methods cover the procedures for testing copper-clad laminates produced from fiber-reinforced, thermosetting polymeric materials intended for fabrication of printed wiring boards.

This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific hazard statements, see 7.2.1, 8.1, and 11.3.1.

1.2 Metric units are the preferred units for these test methods. Inch-pound units, where shown, are presented for information only.

1.3 The procedures appear in the following sections:
