PCB123 Capabilities

[Sal Hernandez]

• Board Thickness
• .031 thickness available on 2 layer boards with solder mask and 1 oz Cu
• .062 Thickness available with all configurations
  
  Copper thickness
• 1 oz Cu available on all configurations
• 2.5 oz Cu available on 2 layer boards with solder mask and .062 Thickness
  
  Solder Finish
• Tin/lead
• RoHS (lead free) Immersion Silver
  
  Pads
• When 1 oz Cu is selected, pads for holes should be .016 to .050 larger than the selected finished hole size.
• When 2.5 oz Cu is selected pads for holes should be .028 to .062 larger than the selected finished hole size.
  
  Drill
• All holes are through from top to bottom layer of board.
• For holes = .070: finished holes should be separated, hole edge to hole edge, by a minimum distance of .017.
• Smallest finished plated hole available is .008" +0/-.008".
• We cannot guarantee Non-Plated holes will be non-plated. The resist on holes = .150 may break down and allow plating into holes.
• No Blind or buried vias.
• The largest finished drilled plated hole size available is .25",
  
  Material
• FR4 150 Tg Minimum
• Dielectric constant 4.5 +/- .1
• Maximum operating temperature 130o C
  
  Solder mask options
• 2 sides
• Green Mask only
• A 3 mil solder mask swell is provided for all pins/pads.
  
  Silkscreen options
• 2 sides available
• White silk only
  
  Fabrication
• Individual routing only
• Route a single continuous outline using a .093 router. The edge of the router moves a long the center of the provided outline to route the board shape. A notch in the board outline must be at least .1 to allow room for the router. A notch smaller than .1 can be ordered through the Full Feature or Custom Quote service.
• Up to 4 slots and cutouts

Capabilities updated to reflect the minimum 150 Tg material we offer.

Our standard double sided material is all 150Tg. We can order 170Tg double sided material if needed (full-feature or custom quote if there is a documented callout)
Our multilayer we carry both 150Tg and 170Tg and for most of the product we will use this material interchangeably unless specified on a drawing or readme (full-feature or custom quote).

That being said, both material Tg are RoHS compliant and compatible. While the Tg is a measure of the gel temperature and has become the industry measure for material reliability, it is only one measure and cannot be used alone to identify the suitability to an application, there are other electrical and mechanical properties for every material that will tell the entire story. For RoHS assembly the key properties to consider are the Td (Decomposition temperature) and the CTE (coefficient of thermal expansion). Both the 150 Tg material and the 170Tg material have ratings in these 2 key attributes that exceed the requirements for lead free assembly. We have been offering the 150Tg material as a lead free solution for more than 7 years and have not had any negative feedback from the material not being able to handle the elevated temperatures etc associated with the lead free assembly.

We do still use interchange the 150 and 170 Tg material. Both materials are lead-free options. If you must specify the material to be used you should order through our Full Feature service with fabrication notes stating the Tg you need. We have not had any issues interchanging these materials for RoHS boards.
