Wow 20 years in stock. I would recommend controlled environments and maybe increase the tg to 200 polyimide www.quickturnflex.com Thank you, Jim Mahoney Quick Turn Flex Circuits, LLC Applications Project Manager P# 603-821-7071 M# 603-305-6250 ** This email and all attachments have been scanned prior to being sent** Confidentiality Notice: This page and any accompanying documents contain information that is confidential, privileged or exempt from disclosure and is intended for the exclusive use of the addressee.

Is there any evidence that polyimide rigid material and pre-pregs would be better than a good FR-4 (170C) for long term reliability. Thanks.
