We are happy to share that we now offer Halogen free material, qualified for UL release from our UK facilities as well as from our Offshore partners.
What are the benefits of using halogen free PCBs?
• It is more environmentally friendly.
• Better insulation on the board.
• Less water absorption.
• Halogen-free boards have a much higher TG (TG is the point at which glass melts) than traditional ones, which can withstand higher temperatures. This makes them better for use in higher-power designs and applications.
• Better thermal stability – Halogen-free PCBs have a higher monomer molecular weight, meaning that their molecules are far less mobile.
Common Uses for Halogen-Free PCBs.
Halogen-free PCBs are becoming more common in everyday applications. As the range of electronic devices continues to grow, the number of halogen-free PCBs in use is rising.
Some of the devices currently operating on halogen-free PCBs include:
• High-end computers and large server farms
• Mobile phones and other wireless devices
• Signalling and trafficking devices
• Consumer electronics such as televisions and games consoles
• Transportation applications such as GPS and onboard computer devices
• Power stations and substations
• Laboratories
• Distribution and sorting rooms
