FR5 is the high temperature version of FR4 epoxy laminate with glass fiber reinforcement. FR5 laminate uses multiple layers of woven glass cloth impregnated with a poly-functional epoxy resin system which provides greater mechanical stability and heat resistance. Expansion coefficient of FR5 laminate in the xy plane is approximately 14 ppm/XC (25XC to 130XC). The expansion coefficient of epoxy resin in the z axis is approximately 4% at a range of 50XC to 288XC. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of FR5 is typically between 170-180oC. Continuous operating temperature for FR5 is typically 140XC. High Tg laminate is best suitable for multilayer PCB with higher layer count. Automotive producers also considered FR5 glass epoxy laminate to be the best material due to its improved Tg glass transition temperature for automotive applications.

It has become a catch all phrase that is used (even by me) rather imprecisely for materials beyond it's orginal, technical description. As you move up the laminate family curve in temp/Tg,you enter (and pass through) the land of multifunctional epoxies classified as FR-5. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Richard Krug Sent: Friday, May 12, 2017 4:52 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] FR-4 vs. FR-5 We've recently started the NPI process for a new assembly using FR-5 laminate. A week ago I'd never heard of FR-5 and don't know much about it. Does anyone have experience with FR-5? Sources of laminate? Key differences from FR-4? Then for my information, what would be the driver to specify this material? Any input on sources should be offline. Thanks in advance.
