Bill, IPC-4101/21,/24,/26 should work fine. This gives you a Tg range to work within depending on your layer count and end-use environment.

I'm looking for a reading on the most common version of FR4 material for 2 sided boards and for multilayer boards... based upon usage in the board manufacturers shops... I want to specify per IPC-4101/?? The best choices would have better Tg characteristics... so I was leaning toward IPC-4101/26 as my choice but there may be a suitable alternative that is more commonly used that someone can point me to. I have some old board designs that were originally build back when MIL-P-13949 was the spec and GFN FR4 was all we had to specify... It's time to update the notes... Any help appreciated... :) Best regards, Bill Brooks - KG6VVP PCB Design Engineer , C.I.D.+, C.I.I.
