One of our buyers passed on an article from the January 2, 1996 issue of Electronic Buyers' News purporting a projected shortage of fiberglass laminate. I would like to solicit comments on this subject. 1. Can the readership confirm or deny the veracity of this rumor? 2. What is the nearest non-fiberglass replacement for FR-4 material, and what are the associated availability, performance and cost deltas between FR-4 and this nearest replacement? regards, Gary Koven, PCB Designer Nellcor Puritan Bennett [log in to unmask]
