Price difference for FR4 and FR1 2 layer PCB

03/30/2008 1:00 AM

Anybody knows the price difference between the above 2 boards? My vendor is quoting me 3 times more for a FR4 board which I really don't believe it's worth that much.

Hello Dameos,

Here a couple of links to Wikipedia

FR4 PCB

FR2 PCB

FP4 pcb boards are epoxy resin fiberglass

FP2 pcb boards are synthetic resin bonded paper

The costs come down to several factors in what enviroment, operation tempature of componets on board, service enviroment, operations siginals on the board, and other

prameters.

I know this may not answer your questions completly, but its a start to think about.

Dameos,

here

http://www.smtnet.com/library/files/upload/Cost%20Analysis%20of%20Printed%20Circuit%20Board.pdf

you find an article explaining different costs of PCB boards. Factor 3 is too much for the difference determined by the material.


Regards Uwe
