Subject: [TN] laminate specification (was RE: [TN] MIL-P-39949??)


Hello technetters,
A timely opportunity to ask a Friday question:

We are an OEM and have our PCBs fabricated outsourced locally.

On our older products the previous staff used the following spec
(example below) on our drill prints and I've always wanted an
interpretation:

4 layers TL-GF-.XXX-C-1/1-A1

Sometimes the "TL" is "FL". Specifically, what do these letters
REALLY mean? Is there an IPC or mil spec that spells this out?

Thanks all in advance. No rush.
