Edwin, Standard FR-4 assembly practices apply to GETEK. It will hold up better in your soldering processes than standard FR-4. GETEK has a higher glass transition temperature (Tg=175-185, DMA) than standard FR-4 and close to but not as high as BT (ranges 170 - 215C depending on the grade). The CTE of GETEK and BT are about the same (GETEK ~13ppm/C, BT 13-15 length, 15-17 cross). You can get additional material properties from GE Electomaterials in Coshocton, Ohio at (740) 622-5310. > ---------- > From: Edwin Maximo[SMTP:[log in to unmask]] > Reply To: TechNet E-Mail Forum.;Edwin Maximo > Sent: Thursday, January 07, 1999 5:23 AM > To: [log in to unmask] > Subject: [TN] Getek board > > Hi there, > > We will be conducting an evaluation on Getek and BT boards for one of > our customers.
